Last month I took my little nephew Stephen for a trip to the storage of world-famous idols, which is located near Mexico City. As you can see they have very big halls there, so we got lost several times. Many people work there, even some gigantic robots. It is so big that they built highways to connect the different areas. All the idols parked there are well maintained and kept ready for their next operations.
Canon AV-1, 50mm f/1.4 FD, Ilford FP4+ 125 @200 expired 2006, Red Filter.
When I was given my Canon AV-1 there was a roll of HP4+ 125 in the bag. It expired in 2006 and I know it had just been sitting in a loft since the late 1990's so it was far from ideal in terms of storage. I figured that I may get some fading due to the fact it was old and stored really badly so I decided to push it to 200. Enough to give it a bit of a contrast boost but not too much if the film turned out to be ok. I also used a red filter on some of the shots. Seeing as the roll was expired and I knew it could have a grungier and more unpredictable look, I decided to look for more grittier street photos. This one was taken out of the window of a train on my way home as I passed through a small industrial area of London.

WYPR 96 and 114 sit with all the rest of White Passes 90 Class and DL535E roster in the three storage tracks near the entrance of the yard waiting for the tourist season to pick up.
The main thing I was hoping to capture this trip was some running WYPR equipment and 114, one of only a few wide cab DL535Es ever made. Lucky for me, they had staged this guy at the end of the storage track cab out which gave me some great photo opportunities. Although I had hoped some of the older roster would be running, it was also great just to walk amongst the old narrow gauge locomotives that had been sitting for about 2 years now. With the new E3000CC-DCs from NRE all up in Skagway, they don't have much need for these guys anymore as one E3000 can easily pull a typical train up the grade where as 2 of the older ALCos/GEs can barely pull the train with their combine 2,400 horsepower. Luckily not all of these old work horses will be sold of so I'm looking forward to seeing the last of their kind on the rails next time.

IKEA expedit. The big one. There was barely enough floor space in the sewing room to put this together.

Dalian, China, April 2008
Not a workers beehive, as someone mentioned below, or at least that wasn't how the property developers marketed it, it may become a workers beehive in time...right now though this is still a "luxury" middle-class beehive (with chinese characteristics). I've seen some of the flats inside it, polished floors, hardwood furniture (tsk tsk) etc...quite nice though.
So I was just looking at this building from my own rather large building and trying to count how many units there were, as you do, and it must be around 600 in that single block, and each unit is family sized. That's potentially 2000 people in one building. The building I live in, though less-wall like, has 53 floors, so that's another equivalent of a small town in Scotland.
China's huge rural to urban shift is actually only half-way through, it's down from 80 % rural in 1980 to 55 % rural or thereabouts today, but the final target is 30 % rural, and with such large population living on such little farmable land (two-thirds of China is mountain or desert), this is the only future for Chinese cities, there won't be US-style suburbia, there can't be. Eating up arable land might be a concern for cities built on a plain, but Dalian for one just doesn't have space full-stop, it's surrounded by sea and mountains, it's difficult to see how it's going to double its population to 6 or 7 million without stringing it out for 100 km. The only way is to knock down and build higher. Well, the locals do call it the Hong Kong of the North. (note, i met no Hong Kong-ese referring to themselves as the Dalian of the south...) And Dalian is only a "second-tier" Chinese city, somewhere around the 10th to 15th biggest, so consider this scenario repeated all over, and in the likes of Shanghai and Chongqing, on steroids...
This packed-in high-rise living is already normal throughout developed parts of Asia like Singapore, South Korea, and Hong-Kong, as mentioned, but will it become normal for the bulk of the world, not through choice, as in Europe's modernist experiments of the 1960s, but through necessity ? How will this change humanity is as a whole ? How will countries that have already developed in a low-density fashion adapt to the new era ?
Anyway, I'm away tonight for a short break to Qingdao, a city in the neighbouring province. No doubt photos will be taken...
The closure for the bag is magnetic, with a small magnet behind the felt. This is a scrapbooking embellishment from BasicGrey.

Before I went to Brickfair Virginia I started expanding my storage area to give me some “breathing room” while building. It has not been fully successful as I just have too many of certain colors (black, bleys, white) taking up too much space.
On the other hand, I have succeeded in freeing up room in the “commonly used parts” section, and can now sort with a goal of clearing this workspace for the first time in a long while. The plan is to finish the sort, then get to work on this decade-overdue Starfighter Telephone starfighter, then back to my grand vision of a full complement of starfighters from all factions across all eras.
Believe it or not, the biggest problem right now is minifigs. I just have so many!!!
