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 [...]
Suzhou Street Life
Exposing for the highlights gives this one a darker feel and it’s just what I wanted to be able to show the busy atmosphere at one of the bus stops in the centre of Suzhou.
Seen in Suzhou, China :: June 2010
Singapore Highway II
Second in a series of underpass pictures and in this case I’m pretty pleased with the position of the tree!
Also taken in Singapore and you can see a similar example tomorrow!!
April 2010.
Biking around Melaka :: Malaysia
This very colourful dressed passed me as I was walking in the middle of the street in Melaka. Not quite sure why I was in the middle of the road… at the time it was probably safer!!!
Waiting for a driver
… and waiting for the bus to leave. This bus was schedule to depart at 9am. However, they wait until the bus is full. On this particular day it didn’t leave until 9:40am. A little frustrating, although the view of the front of the bus is pretty cool.
Taken in Seremban, Malaysia :: April 2010.
Looking out on the Huangpu River :: Shanghai
Taken whilst on the ferry between Pudong and Puxi in Shanghai.

Sailing into Istanbul
The Port of Istanbul is the most important in Turkey. Looking out on the sea from the city it is possible to see hundreds of vessals all around this area.
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 [...]
Shanghia Metro :: Line 2
Images on the metro still fascinate me. I took this one with my Canon G10 one evening whilst experimenting with blur and exposure. I really like it, even though I probably shouldn’t!!
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 [...]
Flinder’s Street and Traffic Light :: Melbourne October 2009
Another one of Flinder’s Street Station. This time with a traffic light. It’s kind of similar to my image from KL of the Petronas Towers.
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!!
Sunny spring days and the tram in Melbourne :: October 2009
More transport options in Melbourne. This picture of one of the local trams was taken close to Flinders Street Station in downtown Melbourne.
Afternoon sunshine outside Flinders Street Station :: Melbourne October 2009
Another view of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia. I love the flair just working it’s way across this image.
This is Melbourne :: October 2009
Melbourne is not the most obvious of places when it comes to tourism and sight seeing. In fact I had no idea what I would see when I arrived there last month. Sydney was obvious and easy. The first sight I was informed about was the main railway station in the centre of town - [...]
