Indeterminate Spaces

I have to thank my dad for the idea for this post.

These are some pictures from inside the underground car park at the ritzy residential development that is currently under construction in my area. Chinese people are obsessed with western names, so this one's called "Eastern Santa Clara" ("Eastern San Jose" and "Provence" - or rather, Puluowangsi - are down the road).

Wall-sized images of the natural world run along concrete halls, giving a pretty face China's own Santa Clara.

Here's a shot for perspective:

Sorry for the lack of posting lately - Because of the Chinese Communist Party's 90th anniversary, jumping the firewall has been impossible to the chagrin of all us waiguoren.
