Taipei's Urban Landscape

This a fairly unimpressive collection of Taipei City Scape Photos, done with a auto focusing camera, i did manage to capture a few interesting images.



People tell me their favorite one is that of the subway (known as MRT, mass rail transit in taiwan) handles and the effect that is created when one looks down a line of them. I didn't find it that interesting, but i've actually planned that photo for a long long time. Years probably, along the countless hours i've stood idling on the trains waiting for my stop to come along.

Near the end of the gallery you will notice a few images of interior design that i can't help but appreiciate. In Taiwan, such modern and beautiful design is taken almost for granted... but after only 6 months in the dreadfully boring and unimaginitive land that is known as America, i was able to truly appreciate the thought and application of interior decoration.
