Senses working overtime #269

1 Lazy

This week I'm pulling the lazy card. We've just finished a 12 week term which included unprecedented moments like a Covid-19 Lockdown in NZ. That's starting to fade in the memory, never-the-less, it resulted in a totally knackering term. I'm pretty empty and really tired. The last two weeks especially have been of the smell-of-a-oily-rag variety.

So - laziness abounds in this edition.

1 Bridges in China
I love these images showing some tremendous feats of engineering in China even if they are in debt (China now boasts the world’s highest bridge, the longest bridge, the highest rail trestle and a host of other superlatives).

The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in Qingdao, in Shandong Province

The Beipan River Shanghai-Kunming high speed rail bridge
 in Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Anshun 

The Duge Beipanjiang Bridge, in Guizhou Province
