The prompt for this month is “Travel or Transport,” which provides loads of inspiration. My favorite is the image above as it’s so whimsical.
LOC, Flickr Commons. Doesn’t this beckon you still?
I’ve never traveled this way. Would you like to try? (LOC, Flickr Commons.)

Each week Ailsa of “Where’s My Backpack?” invites bloggers to share travel photos based on a particular theme. This week’s theme is Indoors.
I knew I’d have to share a photo of the interior of Beijing’s first Stock Exchange. It’s been long forgotten and is now just a tenement, where you can hear people cooking, kids playing, etc. Thanks to Jeremaiah Jenne’s walking tour or Tiananmen Square and the area southwest of it, I knew that this isn’t just some old building, whose exterior you can see here. If it hadn’t been for this tour, I would have just walked by this building without giving it a second glance.
Now if you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome to join in!) here’s what to do:

So July’s City Daily Photo theme was Look Down, which I posted for on my Beijing Daily Photo blog. So it’s weirdly coincidental that WordPress has chosen Look Up as a theme this week.
Anyway, here’s my post for the week.

You can’t tell by looking but the green vegetable is very tart and the jelly in the center is very sweet.
