    A view down a main walkway inside the west gate of the Temple of Heaven.
  363. A close up photo of a pot containing sliced lamb, coriander and cumin.
    We loved the 炙子烤羊肉. Roast lamb with lots of cumin, red onion and corriander.
  364. A photo of a red building brightly lit in the morning sunshine. The sign on the gate to the school indicates that this is DaXing Middle School in Beijing.
    A new school has opened locally. Still under construction when were here during the summer, the sheer size of it is something I struggle to comprehend.
  365. A photo looking over a disused swimming pool. Surrounding the pool are residential buildings the pool and surrounding walkways are covered in snow.
    The remains of an outdoor swimming pool, unused since the opening of a new sports facility, bring back memories of summers in Beijing.
  366. Looking down a snow covered footpath at the side of a road. In front, a hand-pushed snow plow churns snow and ice off the sidewalk.
    Giant rotating scrubbing brushes pushed back and forth along the pavements help keep them free of snow and ice.
  367. A photo of a road junction in China nearest to the camera is a right hand turn lane. Just the other side of the lane is a pile of snow as workmen take advantage of the red traffic lights to clean snow from the main carriageway.
    The work to clear ice and snow from the roads is never ending. As cars wait at the red lights, workers rush out to try and clear more of the ice off the roads in front of them.
  368. A crowded area in a shopping mall in China. A row of tressle tables is covered with tools, electronics, cars and sugary drinks. At the tables, people sit repairing their cars. In the background a crowd stands up against a barrier in front of a Starbucks. They apear to be waiting to watch an event.
    We stumbled across the local Kyosho Mini-Z Grand Prix. I was amazed at how popular this was. People were hard at work tuning or repairing cars. Others lined up to compete.
  369. A photo taken inside a shoe store. There are rows of shoes neatly arranged on shelves eaither side of an isle. Down the centre of the aisle is a row of cushioned benches.
    We gave up trying to make sense of international shoe sizes and instead tried on shoes we found some that fit. My son ended up with a pair of HelloKitty boots.
  370. A young child stands with their back to the camera, looking at a row of arcade machines. The turquoise and pink lighing from the machines reflects in the pollished floor.
    The shopping mall was empty. On a Saturday I’d expect crowds of people sheltering from the cold outside. But there was no one here. The neon lights in this empty arcade had my son dancing around the floor until he realised we were watching him.
  371. A row of identical yellow rental bikes are lined up on a snow covered street. In the background a series of high-rise residetntial buildings.
    Beijing is cold. The current. This bike rack is usually a haphasard collection of diskaredbikes. Today they were arranged in a line, untouched. The cold weather has kept people indoors.
  372. A photo of a person standing in front of a colourful graffiti covered wall.

  375. A photo of a person standing on a concrete pier, the ocean behind them. In the distance a small island. The person looks back towards the camera.

  376. a photo of a person sat at a restaurant table, a plate of stir-fried vegetables sits on the table next to a clay pot resting on a small stove. The person uses chopsticks to take food from the pot. The restaurant appears otherwise empty.

  379. A view from the window of a house looking across the rooftops of houses opposite. A few cars are parked in the street below, but no people are visible in the photo. The sky appears cloudy but is washed out in the photograph.

  380. A photo looking across the dry planes of the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa. A thin path leads away from the camera. Further along the path a line of hikers carry their packs up the mountain. The mountainside shows clear layers of rock in the otherwise grassy surface. The grass has been turned yellow by the dry heat of the summer sun.
