In his photo series of Asian metropolises, Peter Bialobrzeski gives a very real world a very off-world look.

This photo captures the night skyline of Shanghai, with huge differences in height between its traditional neighbourhoods in the foreground and the hypermodern skyscrapers. Car headlights run like a bolt of lightning through the city, while a dreamworld appears on the horizon.
