While walking past the Guangzhou Opera House I came across this fantastic concrete area of slanted pillars and walls and strange ramps. And then lots of red things popped out at me :)

Looks like a great place to get pictures, and you have captured them well.

Very interesting architecture. The red theme goes well in that place.

Nice set, but I really like that first one and the last one with the angles of the columns and the single person giving it a sense of scale. Well done Thoughton.

I too like the red. The last one is my fav from this very nice set.

Thanks for looking folks! I think 4 and 5 are my favourites from this set. I was in heaven at this location :) I have a thing for mild selective colour reds anyway (see this old set (http://www.flickr.com/photos/thoughton/sets/72157625802430421/) on Flickr), but in this set I didn't have to do any selective colouring at all.
