Night in Shanghai by maggiemae

Night in Shanghai

Shanghai seems to be very rich city with skyscrapers of all different shapes, green gardens with long pathways and the river teeming with busyness. Barges carried timber, waste building materials and most had covers on them. Ferries took visitors up and down, all staring at our big ship and taking selfies! It was raining and a lot cooler so we didn’t go ashore but enjoyed life on board.
Three good things:
1 Went to the fitness centre and turned on the walking machine. Thinking it was km/hr, i pushed ‘6’. As I just about shot off the end of it, realised it was mph but managed to grab a handle and turned it off!
2. Walked 4.4km up and down and climbed 14 flights of stairs!
3. Cocktail of the day was a ‘Basil Gimlet’. Got to be healthy!
LOL! You be careful on those machines girlfriend!
Beautiful image of the exotic night

Amazing light show. I'm loving the shots and tales from your journey. A basil gimlet must be green and, therefore, it goes without saying it has to be good for you.

the buildings all have some style, not just towers.
April 26th, 2016  
Beautiful!

@chard Exactly Richard - some good architects who have the freedom!

@nickspicsnz It didn't taste basilish which would have been a bit much but it did have green floaty looking things on top, Nick!

@beryl I am very much aware of that taking into account the accidents and disabilities on 365, Beryl. Not going to join that fraternity!

@tonydebont You must have been here, Tony! We gave up counting the container ships and cranes!

@grammyn When the exotic night is accompanied by old jazz songs, Katy - its even better!
April 26th, 2016  
@maggiemae sounds idyllic!

fabulous nighttime image, careful on the treadmill!
April 26th, 2016  
I saw a foody programme on to recently & they were in the streets of Shanghai, it was absolutely fascinating! What an exciting city it looks!
April 26th, 2016  
The colours and clarity is fantastic in the night shot Maggiemae. Hope there was no CCTV when you started that treadmill!

Amazing view!

Interesting, Shanghai's waterfront buildings were apparently modelled on Liverpool's, hard to tell from this night time shot but it looks great!
April 26th, 2016  
Wonderful shot.
April 26th, 2016

Lovely night scene!
April 27th, 2016  
Lots of neon in this night scene!
April 27th, 2016  
Great night shot- it looks like a very dynamic city. The lights are so pretty. Is that white triangular building some sort of memorial or is it the terminal where the ferries go in?
April 28th, 2016  
Nice evening shot

A beautiful photo. Sounds like an adventure that went right on the treadmill. Glad you were ok. Getting a lot of exercise and booze!

Just love night shots of cities and all the lights. Have loved big city lights since I was a child. Nice capture here of the lights.
