Photo of the Day - Shanghai Architecture



If you've picked up a newspaper or been online in the last five years, you're probably well-aware the media has crowned China the country of the 21st Century. It's hard to visualize this abstract notion. What does it mean? Today's photo, by Flickr user toffiloff, looks like what I picture when I think of "21st Century China". Taken at Shanghai's World Financial Center, the photo's shiny mirrored surfaces, sleek angles and muted colors all suggest newness, modernity and progress. Is it a sign of things to come? Or simply a mirror of our what we expect China to be?

Taken any great travel photos during your recent journeys? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
