East London

The streets run electric and bright and when you stand still your heart can't help but want to scream, can't help but want to beat so hard you feel like it might break your ribs.

There is this city I know that has me crowing when the sun sets, has me crowing as the madness of the night to come begins to rest heavy in my bones. I want to run wild under the fake starlight of dirty street lamps and skyscraper windows lit up through the dark night.

There is this city I know and if you close your eyes, wherever you are, you can hear it calling to you. You can hear it's voice, the heartbeats a thousand different peoples from all walks of life just aching to keep living in that place that never sleeps.


[Couple of notes: One, it took me a half hour to find the original RECord to resource it properly, I didn't realize how many RECords I have recommended since joining! Two, I had an idea of having the colors slowly change in an animation or whatever but I don't have the program to do it, anyone know of any free program I can download to do that?

Also: Read the original post again and realized the photo was actually from http://coisasdacris.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/uma-cidade-que-nao-dorme/ hmmm hope this means I am allowed to remix like I did. ]

Ice lit ever so slightly under a dark blue sky.

This is in fact, people RECording, taking pictures in Wembley
But it looks like a city view from a plane at night

My city center..... with foliage!

I took this of NYC in April of 2009. I love this picture of the city, even though you can't see the stars.

... I want to walk on a street in a big city, next to a stranger I never met before, no prejudices, no expectations...and a chance to fall in love once in my life.

beautiful city seoul !!

My City, Downtown Los Angeles

Every night when I get to see downtown Los Angeles in its bright lights, it makes me forget all the troubles I've had in that day, for a moment it seems like everything around me stops and I really reflect on whats important in my life.....It's honestly the best feeling in the world......:O)

This was from the top of the Torre Latinoamericana.

This is the 1st of June in my city, the great summer holiday at the park :)

I'm a downtown city dweller. I love the vibe, sight and sound of downtown LA (but not the smell). It's not like anywhere else in the world. It's not as posh and chic as New York's but it is unique. This is the view from my first apartment. It's off the Pershing Square Red Line Station, off 5th and Broadway but the view in this picture is facing 5th and Hill Streets. (This is just a block away from the famous bench in the park-looking-at-the-trees-and-skyscrapers-scene from Josh Gordon-Levitt's AMAZING movie called "500 Days of Summer")

I wanted to see how the tilt-shif effect turns out with a night time shot.

Another try at tilt-shifting a nighttime scene, using another of another of SFBakstad's fabulously gorgeous San Francisco cityscapes, one of the places I love most in the world.

Honolulu City Lights... as seen from the branches of my favorite tree.

This is one of my favorite places to be - Chicago. I come here about once a week and it just all takes my breath away.
