I took this photo of an Nanjing Intersection from my hotel room in the city back in 1991. I'd be very surprised if the hotel is still there, let alone the collection of trader stalls under the tarps.
It's trickier to find the bird sitting on the wire in this image than the two caged birds in the image I posted yesterday, but it's there. You might need to click on the image to go over to my Smugmug version and enlarge from there.
Much like KL, parts of the old city were being torn down to be replaced though there was still plenty of character in the surviving streets as future postings will show. What stands out to me in this photo are the colors of the old buildings and the drab grey concrete of (most) of the new high-rises replacing them.
It was a rainy day back in August 1989 when I stepped out of the Boulevard Hotel for a wander. The church is the Orchard Road Presbyterian Church. The area has changed quite a lot in the intervening 23 years though the church remains a pillar of strength, anchoring the intersection.
