After writing about the Shanghai’s pampered dogs for CNNGo, I am hoping to turn my attention toward the city’s feline site. Here are some photos from my first two preliminary shoots of two ladies who have dedicated themselves to caring for the city’s homeless cats.
 Between towering apartment buildings, the sun rises through the Shanghai smog. I moved to Shanghai during the time of the Expo and, I don’t know if this is a coincidence or not, but it seems to me that as soon as the Expo finished air quality got much worse, sometimes visibility is reduced to 10 percent of its normal level. I see many more people wearing masks. I wonder if they really do much good.

It has been a whirlwind but I am finally settling in to my new apartment. I start class at Fudan University tomorrow studying Chinese and Chinese media/journalism. I am eager to get out and start seeing more of the city. Expect more posts soon.  Spices lie out on a sheet at a food market. - Gillian Bolsover photographer: photo Shanghai, China.

I don’t know if I have ever been to such a new city, so much construction, so much expansion, so much excitement. The area where I stayed had been desert just five years ago.

The northern Cornwall coastline is known for its wild moorish landscapes and rocky cliffs, shaped by the Atlantic Ocean.  Bernard Honey blows a trumpet toward the west quarter during an Autumn Equinox Ceremony organized by The Druid Order on Primrose Hill. The trumpet is blown toward all four cardinal quarters to awaken the spirit of the quarter and announce that the ceremony is starting.  The order holds ceremonies in the spring and autumn in celebration of the changing season.  Participants hold hands and recite a prayer at the culmination of the ceremony. |
