Taipei 101: The Photo I've Been Waiting For

Finally, a decent view of Taipei 101.

One of the nice things about living in Taiwan is the proximity of airports to Taipei, especially Song Shan Airport. TSA airport is directly in the city and one cannot help but notice the towering Taipei 101 building as the planes takes off or approaches the airport. My girlfriend and I took a great trip to Kinmen in November. And this is the shot that I got just moments after lift off. Only a minute later we would be flying over the beautiful green mountains surrounding Taipei.

Once I save up the money I will take my girlfriend on an aerial tour of Taipei in a helicopter. (No, I actually don't know if they have those like they do in the States, but given enough money and the right attitude, one can do just about anything.) Then I will get all the money shots of the city that I can dream of.

Even though the air wasn't perfectly clear, it still provided a nice shot of Taipei 101. I do hope for a sunny take off next time though.
