Got some more Shenzhen photos this week but you can’t really tell because they’re all plants. Starting off with this red flower.

Some of the most interesting areas are places with a mix of buildings. Old and new or tall and short

Alleys always look cool but especially so at night. This shot from Nantou Ancient City is one of the older looking areas

Two people walk down a dark alley. Some lights on either side illuminate their path a little. Surrounding them are buildings and cables

Shenzhen is a pretty big city, which means a lot of buildings. Some big, some small, some old, some new. And I take a lot of photos of them because they don’t move

There are some pretty cool ceilings in Shenzhen, including at Gangxia North subway station. This one I think is from somewhere else, but I’m not sure where. I dropped the ball there a bit

Here is one of the entrances to Nantou Ancient City. Some parts of it, like this gate, look pretty old still, and I think they’ve also found some ruins, but some of Nantou Ancient City is pretty new

An old Chinese gate is illuminated at night. A sign to the side says that it is Nantou Ancient Town, which is in Shenzhen. Some silhouetted people in front are taking photos
