After leaving Beijing we travelled to Shanghai, this is a beautiful city with the weather changing creating different moods.
Here are a few of the many faces of the shanghai river front, the Bund.
The left side of the river, Pudong is very modern and futuristic.
The right bank is very European, from the 1920s

Shanghai, wedding day
These posts are a bit out of order as I have been back a while.
We also visited shanghai, along the Pudong, there appears to be several weddings a day, or brides just love it for their wedding albums, the most prominent color for wedding dresses also appears to be red. At first I thought they we re fashion shoots, but the more we travelled up and down they were all weddings, here are a couple of my shots of the big day...... whilst travelling on an open top tour bus.

The new web site is up and running so I thought I would re-vitalise the Blog. It is amazing it has been so long since the last post.
Today's post is about the Great wall.
On a recent visit to china, I was a bit disappointed that Beijing was covered in smog with readings in the high 300s and one day over 400, we were told the safe level was 150. Not sure what all the numbers meant but suffice to say on the day over 400, breathing was not s much more difficult rather you had to clean out your nose on returning to the hotel a bit more thoroughly.
The up side was the light.
The sunlight was filtered and dappled so reducing harsh shadows during the day.
this led to some eerie images. Beijing is a beautiful city with great heritage. it was a pleasure to see and photograph the buildings but I should have worn a mask....
The first two images were taken at 10:00am looking at the sun through the smog.
The next three are images on the great wall
