Fast train, Shanghai

30 Nov 2017 30 27 927
This is the Maglev train, the only one of its kind in operation anywhere and the fastest regular commercial train service. See notes for the speed and a wider image. Here's a musical link. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. CORRECTION: I have now found that other maglevs have begun operations - but at much lower speeds. Explored.

Chengdu crowds

08 Nov 2017 5 2 426
Well, it was the summer holiday season while we were in China, but we still were surprised by the crowds at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base. Those above are waiting near one of the main enclosures, the other image in the note shows the crowd waiting to go in the main entry to the centre.

No day to go fishing

18 Feb 2016 27 23 764
A wet and windy day. We were interested to see these fishing huts (and a few nets) alongside the Metaura River. There's a fence there too (you may need to view large to see it). HFF. Explored.

Arriving

19 Jan 2016 25 20 749
Aircraft (in note) approaching Queenstown, NZ Sth Island. The flight path between the ranges must give an exciting arrival. I'd suggest viewing large. Explored.

The image title is the name of these rock formations on the west coast of the south island of New Zealand. Interesting uplifted stratified rocks, another image in the note. Press 'Z' to view large. Explored.
