May Theme Day: Laugh

My delightful friend Lolita
In May City Daily Photo bloggers are challenged to share photos of “Laughter.” Above I’m sharing a photo of my cheerful, laughing friend Lolita. How lucky I am to have such a creative, positive friend.

July Theme Day: Look Down
This month’s theme is: Look Down. You can learn something when you look down.
I took a walking tour around Tiananmen Square and learned that these rectangular covers are for port-a-potties Beijing-style. When there’s an event they would open the tops and put tents over the areas for a little, very little privacy. Now I notice them around Wangfujing Street and near Qianmen Avenue.

The Air
Sadly, this is a good day for air in Beijing in the winter. It’s unbelievable that the government isn’t going to attack the problem till 2030.
Marching
It seems like there are more soldiers marching around central Beijing. These were marching around Tiananmen Square, but I’ve seen more groups beyond this out around Xuanmen.
November Theme Day: Landmark

Bien sur: Tiananmen Square
