Excellent! The 4 cars (3 black, 1 silver) really make the shot, passing the standing crowd.

Hello, Jennifer Glad to go back visiting your galleries. This one, for me, speaks of China old and new. It is very hard (for me) in seeing these people on the second tier, not to think of the soldier's army buried in Xian. Even more striking is to think that now they are on a suspended promenade, whereas the soldiers were buried, and still, one gets the feeling of the individual forever marked by the collective, and the ritualistic, even though it may have the trappings of modernism. Just a thought, of course....

In a metropolitan like Shanghai, the urban night life thrives, 10PM is the time to start to have fun, at 9:20PM, the night is still young... I have left the city many years ago, and it was a completely different city where I grew up,,, but I imagain I can enjoy the new night life there...

Love the contrast : the still and the motion.

I had to look twice to catch the symbols for different "roads" (as Phil stated) in your very complex picture. The waterfront, the promenade crowded with people, the sidewalk with an alley of trees and illuminated shops on a deeper niveau and the highway with the speeding cars. You took this shot at night - this creates a strong visual impact to your work. The longer I look at this picture the more I feel the surrealism in it! Shanghai must be a fascinating city!

Shanghai's four highways....a simple statemenmt of progress, but also that most people here still don't have a car...a European scene would be very different. Excellent documentary. K

looks lyke a fantasy world... at the same time, it's all real... Been there before... Impressive place.

****When I look at the picture closely, I see with a shock that there are four "roads" here, one holding speeding cars, an incongruously empty sidewalk hidden in the trees, a promenade jammed with people, and the river -- a road of water. They alternate in degree of energy as well. A fascinating image, Jen.
