The area where we are staying has only been dry land for five years. There is still newly created land in this neighborhood and this neighbor hood needs the accompanying transportation systems. In fact an entirely new addition of 9 stops was added to the M4 Metro line. As such we have two new metro stations that we can go to and skip the 7A bus in its entirety. There had been some increased foot traffic that we saw off in the distance. We decided that we should go out and explore the birth of an island. This would be our destination for the day.
Water jellies is what they were called by a local we chatted with
Big as dinner plates
Foxy dog
Brand new metro line!
Only half the escalators were working
Subdued architecture
Nice mid bridge art seating
Swans in the distance
Jogging club went by, following chalk markers thrown on the ground
Serious fencing
Drop in dab sounds like fun until you forget how to dab
This seagull would not budge, one guy clapped loudly and nothing.
Were these feet glued to the railing?
Stockpiles of large drainage hardware
Pipes to go into the concrete?
Still water behind one of the huge vertical metal sheets
Shallow enough to hunt in
Very complex system of land reclamation
Bridges over nothing
The canals will be dug out again when all the work is done
The work that has been going on here
It is the newest regional alarm clock. Like the wine bottle collection early in Paris, the seagulls in Sunderland and the construction sound in Brisbane, we will forever associate the sound of a granite cobble being tossed into t wheel barrel with Copenhagen
