From Shanghai on our way to Nanjing

A representative from the company/supplier in-charge of the project came to fetch us at Shanghai International Airport, and took us to Nanjing, Jiangsu where the training venue was.

As a first timer in a foreign land sightseeing, picture taking are always present. I positioned myself at the window side of the van for that purpose.

Sadly, I chose not to bring my DSLR with me because I felt that it will be too heavy for me to carry around, which honestly I regretted. Nothing beats the quality of the pictures taken from a DSLR especially from a moving vehicle.

Anyway, since I only have with me my Samsung Smart Camera WB250F + my Samsung Smartphone (sorry for emphasizing the brand, I'm a Samsung avid user, I guess) so let's just enjoy the pictures taken from these gadgets.

To start.. these are photos of Pudong Shanghai International Airport taken from a distance. A wide angle lens is badly needed to be able to take a better view of the one of the sophisticated airport in the world.

 

Outside the airport along the highway, you can see a lot of these freshly transferred or transplanted trees which I think is part of the beautification project of the city or should I say of the whole China because I've seen the same at Nanjing, Jiangsu.

Aside from these trees you'll see a lot of beautiful flowers on the islands in the middle of the city roads.

The flowers are blooming beautifully and the trees are luscious green in China because it's already Spring even with the temperature still reach as low as 10 degrees Celsius at night until early morning.  

There are a lot of buildings from single storey to high-rise along side of these road in this part of Shanghai. I wish I can read those characters written on the buildings and streets signage, but too bad only few have English translations.

 

 

Can you spot the glass cleaners working outside the building?

I took a zoom shot just to test how far the 18x optical zoom of Samsung WB250F can reach. And

 

The result is quite impressive huh! A little effort in focusing and stabilizing my hand grip (because I'm on board a moving vehicle) I was able to take a clearer shot. 

And another zoom tests I took, were these cute figurines and glass decors mounted on a car dashboard. 

I think that's the last traffic light stop we had before we head out to the superhighway.

As an electrical engineer a scene of transmission lines and towers will never be neglected, so here's one that I took along the highway, the last one before I dozed off. 

Another 4 hours of travel to Nanjing, and per instruction (I guessed...), our lunch will be served at Nanjing, and were expected to arrive at past 1PM, gutom ang peg good thing I carried this chocolate wafer that the airline gave us, pampatawid gutom..
