Building China :: unfinished road with family
This is currently one of my favourite images and represents life in the suburbs of Shanghai. There has been frantic construction going on for several years now to place Shanghai in the best infrastructure position possible. The domestic Hong Qiao Airport recently opened a brand new terminal and this happened in conjunction with a new [...]
Always busy in the direction you want to go…
Seen in Shanghai last Autumn.
Today my photoblog is one year old. Yesterday was picture 365, so I’m guessing this is the start of a new year! More photos to come…
Shanghai Morning :: On the way to work
It’s time for a break from the photos taken whilst I was living in Vancouver. Instead it’s back to Shanghai and some more recent images.
This first one was taken on my Canon G10 camera on the way to work out of the bus window. We have had some clear skies recently and I saw this [...]
Granville Street Traffic :: Vancouver
Taken one evening in November 2007. At least that’s according to the EXIF data on the photo. For some reason I think this was taken sometime during 2008.
Shanghai Street Life :: Traffic Lights
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that traffic lights in some part around China are optional guides to when to go and when to stop. In this case, everyone is moving and nobody notices if the light is red or green!!
Dusty Roads :: Shanghai
Keeping the constructions dust out of your hair and mouth is a serious business around the road construction sites.
Shanghai @ work :: Road construction IV
From old roads to new expressways. Building work happens fast in China
Shanghai @ work :: Road construction III
This is the area leading into what will be the Hong Qiao transportation hub. The massive amount of construction here is not only about new expressway roads, but it also encompasses new metro lines, light rail, high speed long distance rail links and a new airport for domestic travel. At the moment and on the [...]
Shanghai @ work :: Road construction in Minhang
The current series is from the area around the Hong Qiao Shanghai airport and mostly black and white. The world going on here is impressive albeit incredibly dirty.
Shanghai @ work :: Building a road!
West of the main city lies Shanghai’s, and probably China’s, biggest construction project underway at this time. There are overhead roads being built from every direction converging on what will be a transport hub for people living in the Shanghai metro district or travelling to places further afield such as Beijing.
I pass through this construction [...]
Construction near People’s Square, Shanghai
It seems like I’ve been living in cities of construction for the past 3 years. First Vancouver where they have been preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics for the last few years, and now Shanghai where rapid construction seems to be a way of life - and especially because of the World Expo taking place [...]
Night time in Shanghai :: Nanjing Xi Lu looking towards Tomorrow Square
It’s been a while since I took night time pictures in Shanghai and last Sunday was reported to be the last day of good weather for a while (and that’s definitely been true all of this week!). So I packed up a tripod and headed down towards People’s Square and went looking for some cool [...]
Two wheels in Shanghai
That’s enough of Australia for the time being - I’m sure though that I’ll find a few more pictures to blog about Melbourne or Sydney at some point.
However, I’m now back in Shanghai and I’ve been busy getting into various series of work and thinking about what makes Shanghai tick! One thing for sure that’s [...]
Orange umbrellas at Federation Square :: Melbourne October 2009
Federation Square takes in much of what could be described as central Melbourne. Of course, it’s also another place to grab a coffee under an umbrella!!

Walking at Zhongshan Park
Really there is no need to be walking inside the train… the idea is that the train does the work for you!
People’s Square Metro :: Shanghai
These people seem to have worked out how enter and exit the train without bumping into each other… I wish everyone could do that!!
Huangpi Nan Lu on line 1 :: Shanghai Metro
…and finally some people who haven’t moved and blurred my shot!
Line 1 :: Shanghai Metro
The Line 1 sign on the stairs down to the metro. See more of my metro series by clicking on the metro tag.
