first weekend in July

July 1, 3:58 p.m. - ah, they are re-painting Da'an Park footbridge, but not to that dark reddish color. Primer? 
Pentax ZX-5n, Ilford XP2 Super:
Shida area
Shida dorms
Xinsheng South Rd. (Da'an Park west) from the footbridge
Da'an Forest Park facing east. The angular building on the left is the main public library, the stairwell from which I've taken many shots of Da'an Park.
July 2 - Fuhe Bridge crossing the Xindian River connecting the Gongguan area of Taipei with Yonghe.
Tricky composition on Fuhe Bridge, the underside of a freeway in shadow taking half the shot and the other half in bright daylight of the same freeway in the distance which becomes double-decker south of Gongguan. I sacrificed the detail in the shadows because even though it's prominent in the foreground, the bright part is the emphasis. A glimpse of the riverside bikeway is at the lower left.
Yonghe side of the Fuhe Bridge along the (unseen) river with the double-deck freeway in Taipei in the distance.

Gongguan, back in Taipei in the night market area. The woman in line is smiling at the cuteness. I had to shoot quickly to get this. I think there's a water park nearby.
