Storm over Taichung
For one reason or another I spend quite a bit of time in places overlooking Taichung, giving me plenty of chances to search for that ultimate photograph of the California of Taiwan. With the first big typhoon of the season on its way today, I thought I'd take a look at the many moods of Taichung.
After the rain -- the southern part of Taichung county
Expressways and smokestacks between Taichung and Changhua
Murky skies over the city
Looking north over Wufeng, Dali, and Taiping
Tatu Mountain looms over the southwest side of Taichung
Populated areas come to a halt at steep mountain slopes
Looking toward the old downtown
Looking west toward the sea
Rice paddies abut the city
Mad crowding compelled by Taiwan's mad land use laws on display
Looking north toward the city
Buildings lit up in the morning sun
A closeup of the above
Mountain communities outside the city
Skyline over rice fields
Looking west over Tanzi, just north of Taichung
Clear skies over the city
Looking southwest toward the old downtown
Factories and warehouses north of Taichung
City, sky, smog
Tanzi and the area north of the city
Northern Taichung
The setting sun obscures northern Taichung
Tanzi
A sunbeam lights up the city

Goddammit, Michael, you went and made me "homesick" again.
ReplyDeleteHow is Taichung the California of Taiwan? I always thought that designation goes to Hualien, which like CA, is the "latter" coast. Throw in the earthquakes, scenery, Pacific ocean, etc ...
