Say "cheese," China.

I recently put up a post about Shanghai World Expo 2010, China’s current World’s Fair, which is the most expensive event in the history of the planet. I just came across some large-scale, eye-popping photos of the Expo on The Big Picture photography site. As usual, that site’s outdone itself with some truly amazing images. I don’t have permission to reprint any of the photos here, but go have a look at the collection and be prepared to be awed. My only commentary is that if Ron Mueck isn’t getting royalties on the gigantic baby sculpture (the first image in the set), he should sue.
