So as a result of my hands shaking a slight bit while taking this semi-long exposure photo, the LED strips running down the buildings in the background look a lot less like strips and a lot more like entire screens, which for the photo at least, looks pretty darn cool. Maybe a little unlike how it actually looked in reality but that’s okay.

It seems like Changsha just has these light displays on for the entire evening up until 10:30 PM, after which it just abruptly turns off. Bit spooky I gotta say. Allegedly the lights are used for artistic displays only, but I feel like it’s way too easy to just put up a lil’ massive Coca-Cola ad over half of the city with this setup.W
