Nice pictures! When I was a kid, my dad took a business trip to Taiwan and brought me a bunch of postcards. It was my first introduction to Asia and I’ve been fascinated with ancient Asian architecture ever since.
Thank you! That’s Taipei 101, which was the tallest free-standing building in the world for many years. (It has since been surpassed and is currently fifth tallest, maybe?) The first photo in this set is a one of the views from the observatory on the 89th floor of Taipei 101.

Wow, these photos are amazing!!!
Aw thanks! Means a lot coming from THE Real Fauxtographer. ;) Taiwan is just such a beautiful place, though. I can’t take too much credit.

How fun! But you haven’t been to Taiwan yet? I think you would enjoy it.
Granted, I am biased… ;P
Terrific pictures. What is the tall building in the last one? It’s very striking.
