Spring has sprung, although the weather remains somewhat crappy and gray out. Today was one of those days when you could wear a coat, but maybe didn’t need one? But you’d have been a little cold if you didn’t bother.
Winter seems to be almost six months long in Shanghai. Summer just as long. A land of extremes, with a few weeks that seem like Spring and Autumn wedged in.
It has been a long time since I posted some Shots Around Shanghai. This is almost entirely due to me being a fairly boring person and not going to anywhere new! Some of these photos go back a long way, until almost Chinese New Year in February. Time to catch up.
