New homes for well-to-do Hangzhou families

Tech note: These three pictures were taken from a moving minibus - moving quite fast. One member
of a our group, with a new expensive camera but without much experience made the comment
"Digital cameras aren't any good at taking pictures like these". This seems to be a common belief
but it applies to any camera used on "automatic" settings, particularly auto focus. I told her
"Put it on manual focus set at infinity, fast shutter speed" but she didn't want to be told.
