Amateur photographer and crane operator Wei Gensheng captured the view from the Shanghai Tower, the world's second tallest building. Even pollution looks pretty. 22 Words captured some incredible shots. — Pavia, CEO

I moved to NYC in 2013, and it's been a steep learning curve navigating the streets and subways. Illustrator Nathan Pyle's gifs of NYC tips and etiquette have been extremely helpful. — Becky, editorial assistant
