Near my apartment is this small river or stream or whatever. It runs north-south right along a main road. One part I often walk by usually has birds in it and I try to take photos of them. Another area has this little crossing area that you can walk down and over. I think there are actually a couple but this is the one I most often see

Let’s keep going with more Shenzhen photos, this time from Q1 2023. This is a statue of Guan Yu that we saw at a mall where we went for dinner one day. I’m pretty bad at taking interesting photos so I was trying different angles and took this one from the end of the spear and I think it came out okay

I take a lot of photos of flowers because they’re pretty and don’t move so I can take my time. So a lot of my Shenzhen photos aren’t actually of the city but flowers (and mushrooms). This shot though I managed to get some flowers AND some city. I also had a version with the flowers in focus and a nice bokeh in the background but I ended up choosing the one where you could see the city

In my opinion Shenzhen has the best subway system in the world. Clean, air conditioned, easy to figure out where to go, not too busy, and it goes everywhere. In the busier central districts of the city, like Futian District where I live, the subway lines are underground, but in the more outer districts, like Longhua District where I work, they’re often above ground. This station is near my work and I liked how the pedestrian overpass was tucked right under the subway
