Taipei - Apartment Building

This and the next three or four postings will be of buildings in the Taipei area, captured from street level (as opposed to from the top of 101, which will come later).

These are some of the most interesting pictures to examine, because the more you look at them the more you see.  For example, do you see where the bicycle is in this one?  And the motorcycle that's not too far from it?  (Clicking on the photo will bring it up to full screen.)

To look at this pic you would not think that you're smack dab in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world.  It's an interesting exercise to frame a picture in a large city so that the upper stories of a building are surrounded by nothing but vegetation such as trees or, in this case, lush jungle mountainside.  Three such photos captured in New York City are here, here, and here, all taken with the FinePix s7000 back in July of 2010.  A year before, in June of 2009, this one was captured in Paris.
