Every one an electric scooter, crossing Nanjing Road East, Shanghai

Chinese dragon dance
Given my extremely limited time in Shanghai that morning, how fortunate was I to encounter this group out practising on The Bund?

An landmark on The Bund and a magnet for posing tourists in Shanghai even at 7am in the morning.

Electric Dreams
It took me a while but slowly I realised that to my surprise practically every scooter, bike and car in Shanghai was electric.

Shanghai Dawn.
Could be an action movie title, but the Bund just before 7am it was all quiet. And sunrise over the Pudong skyline & the Huangpu River was special.

It's 6.50am and I have three hours to see Shanghai - and have breakfast! First thing I headed down to the on the Bund - still deserted but for this bus.

Trolleybus.
Remembering them in Cardiff, I was delighted to discover that these are a modern electric thing on the streets of Shanghai.

11pm - Shanghai
A few people on the Bund, lights out in Pudong. It would have been a different backdrop had I flown in earlier.

The US is utter chaos. Complete and utter chaos, for at least another four years and probably long into the future. Any British government working in the national interest will be investigating how to quickly reduce our exposure to it.

At Black Rock, Brighton. Final photo taken testing my father's 1930's Zeiss Ikon Nettar 510/2, Ilford FP4 film.
I had not properly depressed the shutter button but something emerged...

I noticed how it was much easier to take a photo holding the camera at waist level and use the tiny right angle prism finder. The unsharp Brighton station shot was taken overhead at 1/25 sec.

Standing on Sydney Street, Brighton North Laine, this was the second time that I depressed the shutter but the first when anything emerged on the FP4 film roll.

This was my father‘s Zeiss Ikon Nettar 510/2 which was probably manufactured in Germany in the early 1930s. He owned it from new and it’s taken me no less than 17 years to get around to try it out…

Seems that all Farage’s trips to US had an actual purpose.

Clacton to all intents and purposes is - in the words of one local "about to become the 51st state" of America.

Incredible story

It starts off the coast of France and finishes with a sunset somewhere in the English Channel but there’s over 300 photos from last month in Spain along the way…
I normally do a lot more annotation and processing but I’d be posting this in Autumn if I did that!

How great a Prime Minister Boris Johnson was.

When judged by history I am sure his name will be up there with Churchill as one of the greatest British leaders of all time.

His sharp intellect shone through in every thing he attempted.

My photo from 2018 at the End of the Road festival and another this morning of the two LPs that I bought a while ago purely on the basis of the emotions transmitted in the music from that stage.
This is Daniel Blumberg, who last week won the Oscar for best soundtrack (The Brutalist).

No greater betrayal of your humanity than this. Handing over the independence of your mind to a leader. Turning yourself into their slave.

In a street market in Mexico , to the left a man is shing the shoes of another and he seems to be aware of his photo being taken in the scene which includes a wider aspect including two women walking into the distance.
