On the edges of Labour Park

On a whim, partly because I felt I was yet t have made a successful picture there and partly because I wanted to go exploring, I went back to Labour Park in Dalian a few days ago to work my way up to the top, Lu Shan, and have a look around for more of the subtle (comparatively speaking) signs of our influence and control over the environment.  I found a whole series of spaces used for tai qi and other morning rituals and also some presumably for more violent martial arts further up the hill.  Also had an interesting experience with the local, ‘wildlife’ again when a couple decide to get together in the background of one of my shots while a strange guy crouched and watched them from the bushes, completely uninterested in the fact he was in full view of me.  I guess the wooded edges of city parks are pretty much the same no matter what country you are in…

Anyway, here are a few random selects from the shoot that have caught my eye initially.
