Waibaidu Bridge crossing the Suzhou Creek in Shanghai (China)

Looking east, one could see the warehouses on the waterfront of Pootung like huge monsters crouching in the gloom, their lights twinkling like countless tiny eyes. To the west, one saw with a shock of wonder on the roof of a building a gigagntic neon sign in flaming red and phosphorescent green: LIGHT, HEAT, POWER.
