Urban renewal is creeping east; the dome no longer sits alone amongst the industrial ruins of the Blackwall Peninsula: it is now joined by the first few apartment blocks, while the industrial ruins have been chipped up into gravel and shipped off down the river on barges. The Peninsula is in that in-between stage, where most of the old has been cleared away, but little of the new has yet arrived; empty and windswept -- except where a solitary wall provides a shelter.

A very British city streetscape, with its fake KFC kebab shop; the cheaply decorated off license with the national lottery sign blocking half the pavement; utilities works actually blocking the entire pavement in the distance, with no alternative facilities provided except a "please use footway opposite" sign; the ubiquitous parked car, lined up on the smashed up cobbling only because the council have had to install bollards, hard physical barriers to stop them parking as close to the front door of their destination as they possibly can...

Ring Road

The Old Beijing is roughly rectangular, aligned to the compass points, a few km east-west and a few more north-south, slightly fatter at the southern end, where the outer city had been tacked on. Around it ran the city walls, and then the city moat.
Nowadays, the walls are mostly gone, and the moat now houses the circle line, line 2, of the underground railway. Above it runs the 2nd Ring Road, a congested ten lane motorway, the inner-most of Beijing's five beltways. Being right in the heart of the city, it has to cut carefully between ancient budhist temples and great glass office blocks, in the densest residential and business districts. It therefore has to try to serve both through traffic and local traffic, often with complicated layers of three lane + hard shoulder through-traffic carriageways separated from two lane local-traffic carriageways and then segregated bike paths, with miscellaneous official and illegal parking layers, and all the while crowds of pedestrians around the subway stops and office blocks, just trying to cross the road.
This stretch at Yonghegong felt like calm wilderness, compared to Dongzhimen, two stops down the line.

From my lunchtime vantage point on Monday. I can never tell when I'm going a bit too far with deliberately wrong white balance. Being RG colourblind, and thus unaware of what the other 90% are seeing, doesn't help. What do you think? Does it look fine, or implausible?

and the snow-capped Langdale Pikes on monday, while walking from Ambleside to the train station, weighed down with all the equipment. it was very difficult to find anywhere to take photos along Windermere -- so much of the shore is fenced off with big "private" signs -- a disgrace that i would make a bigger fuss about, if Windermere weren't the dullest of all the lakes.

I assume that these are the Falls of Lora, except that all of the online sources state that the falls occur on the ebb tide, when the high waters flow out of Loch Etive into the Firth of Lorne, at the narrow loch mouth here in Connel. However, this is the flood tide, flowing into the 30km long sea loch, that is creating the rapids. So I don't know whether Wikipedia is wrong, or whether these don't technically count as the Falls of Lora.
