There is nothing like surveying the sprawling vibrancy of a global city from a distance, preferably from a perched viewpoint, for inducing a reflective mood... Something akin to the infinitely wise perplexity of a demiurge facing the strange devices dreamt up by his creation, or -- for the less megalomaniac -- an urge to reassess one's own place in the vast machinery below, as well as a mental preparation for the heartbreaking moment when one will have to join the fray again. There is all of this in your beautiful photograph (taken, unless I'm mistaken, from the Jin Mao Tower ?), and there is an unexpected calm, almost elegiac, serenity too : the warm orange glow of sunset and the slow procession of boats on the river give an added timelessness to the scene. Truly something to be proud of.
