Street Impressions in Pudong

Last December, I wandered through Pudong's streets, taking in the quiet charm of local life against the backdrop of an ordinary urban skyline.

Parents gathered expectantly at the kindergarten gate, their anticipation palpable as they waited for their children to emerge.

A woman shook out her blanket from the window, sending dust motes dancing in the sunlight.

Workers were cutting a steel pipe by the street, sending sparks flying into the air.

As the golden hour approached, the dog's tail grass by the street shimmered in the warm, soft light.

Back on the overpass, I watched as the skyline gradually turned a rich, golden hue.
