This image was taken on a rainy night in Shanghai, China, and is of two of the buildings on the Bund (waterfront embankment). The Jiang Hai Custom House (built in 1927) retains the original custom house clock from 1843. Off to the right is the German Asiatic Bank, built in 1940. The lotus type structure in the back (below left of the clock tower) is the Westin Shanghai.

This is a wonderfully clear night shot Herman. I really like the warmer colored lights at the top of the building and the cooler ones at the bottom. The intricate designs ( like the lotus-shaped building) is very fascinating to see in night lights. Thanks you for sharing :~)

I live in the small Shropshire town of Whitchurch in the UK, the Clock in the Customs House was made by the local firm of 'Joyce Tower Clocks' established in Whitchurch in 1787.
