Now, that IS crayzy

This page is devoted to some of the cool things I have encountered… remember to click on the image for a larger view!

These guys were pushing a big red tube down a manhole and creating a nice composition for me to photograph.

#13
Lots of wires.

#12
While awaiting departure from one of the main train stations in Shanghai, I caught this frame from a movie preview.  After my 4.5 hour train journey, I too felt as though I had been punched in the face.

#11
Vow ribbons in a temple.

#10
The other day, some workers demolished and rebuilt part of the wall around a construction site in our neighbourhood.  This gave me the opportunity to peak inside (via the camera lens).  There are a few buildings left behind, still occupied and sitting in front of a backdrop of what’s to come …

Here is something I haven’t seen before: a business shirt vending machine.  I saw it in the lobby of an office building.  No refund, no change room.

#8
Bright lights, big city …

#7
An odd little restaurant – the dining area was 2 storeys high but only about two metres wide and stuck right on the street front.  A tiny space but high impact.

#6
Dragonboy and I took a ride on this huge ferris wheel in Wuxi.  I spent the 20 minute ride thinking about all the lax workplace practices I have seen here.

The same wheel doing its best War of the Worlds impression.

#5
Here is a shop selling dried gourds and paint brushes … what else could one need?

#4
It was very clear and bright the other night, so I took some long exposure shots from the balcony (it was also cold, so I didn’t feel like leaving home).   My neighbours did not provide any Rear Window scenarios, thankfully.

#3
Always looking for Jeffrey Smart moments.  If only the woman was a fat bald man staring into space…

#2
There is heaps of investment going on here with public infrastructure.  This is the concourse of one of the intercity train terminals.  At the centre is a large void space opening to the platforms below.

#1
The elevated roads get special treatment at night – a swathe of blue lighting reminiscent of that used in many public toilets and alcoves around the streets of Sydney.  Couldn’t find a vein anywhere…
