Photographer: Gabby Micu

Donya Akhavon

I really like this photo. The contrast of the rich green forest with the industrial metropolitan behind it is stark and eye catching. The cloudy grey skies above are very visible, with some clouds even enwrapping the highest buildings above—including Taipei 101, which stands at almost 2000 feet. The photo is so precise, with buildings even far away from the photographer being visible with commendable details. Most of all, I like how looking at this photo reminds me of what a person with 20/20 vision would see if they were looking at this view. Oftentimes, people cannot bring justice to views as magnificent as this, so with Micu being able to pull this off, I think it’s really cool. She included elements of artistry and realism in her photo which makes it all the more captivating to look at.
