Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it’s finally time to announce our Pic of the Week!
You came, you saw, you voted. And when the dust had settled (seriously, clean your mouse, will you?) and the votes were counted, there was one clear, righteous winner. That person is Chen-Hsiang Hsu with this incredible photo taken from the KITTE building in Tokyo’s Marunouchi. Simply gorgeous.

In second place, we have Paul Freeborn’s stunning photo, titled “Fukuoka Waterfront,” which captures the Kyushu city at its best on a beautifully clear night.

And finally, in third place, we have Devin Miller’s beautiful, skyward-reaching bamboo–a photo which he shot in a forest just outside of Osaka last year.
