Singapore is amazing! Especially in the night. Honestly, I have never seen any city that looks like Singapore in the evening.

The architecture of this Stepwell is so unique and the water is so clean that many come to cool their bodies and head back into their busy lives.

At any time the tourist community is always consistent and when they come down from the stairs they create a real continuous flow of movement ..... or almost.

This pyramid, the third-largest of Earth, was dedicated to the god of Sun, and its geometrical perfection can only inspire admiration for the civilization that build it. The grandeur of this behemoth is even greater compared with those tiny dots of humanity in the frame. Seemingly insignificant, but in the end also the makers of this wonder.

Photograph and caption by Edgar de la CovaStanding on a middle floor of an old Tube apartment complex in Hong Kong. It's interesting to see how people live here. Often in heat with high humidity without airconditioning. when taking some pictures here I had a quick talk with an old man, a local. His english was very poor but we somehow enjoyed each other's company. He was very interested in what i was doing and liked looking at my shots. When i was done, he went back to his house – turned out he lived on that particular floor.

While it was very hot, the atmosphere felt cold. Looking down to the ground there was a small garden in the middle. It was like they wanted to put some warmth into this cold place.

Photograph and caption by Haitong YuA dynamic shadow that is projected on a regular wall. I like to take the interesting shadows and shapes that the city produces. The person who walked there became a good accent, and it became an impressive moment.

Photograph and caption by Jesse CuevasA picture I took in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The combination of the big green doors, yellow arches and the view of the city excited me. Even an acrobatic bird got into the frame.
Photograph and caption by Dekel Bari think it's very easy to overlook the brilliance in the detail in such an iconic structure. However by only capturing a portion of the building i tried to capture the craftmanship employed in this amazing structure.

Photograph and caption by Bessie O'DellSomewhere at The Great Wall, China. February 2018. Your best photos and memories of a trip come often unexpectedly. As an architecture and urban photographer, my main goal when visiting Beijing was to photograph its iconic modern architecture, by some of today's master studios such as zaha hadid or MVRDV, just to name a few. But it was at the great wall when I got completely mind blown, specially since I was lucky to capture it on a dreamy and surreal foggy conditions, creating a magic scenery.
