Lots of housing – the photo of these homes was taken at Lishuiqias Station in the northern area of Beijing. This area has many undeveloped sections in comparison to the rest of the city.

Trees, streets and sidewalks go in first before the building. The building site is surrounded by mesh to contain construction debris. This is a small part of a larger project shown in the advertisement.
More homes
No, Kathy, it won't fit in the apartment!
Stockpile of coal
Coal plays an important role in China. This housing complex uses coal as a heat source.
More coal-heated homes. Note the smoke stack in the background.
Laundry Day
I love this photo! In the background you can see the encroaching city. This photo reminds me of another photo from Newfoundland, Canda, our home province. A photo of a single small house on a rocky shoreline with blankets blowing in the breeze. No matter who you are or where you are the laundry has to be done.
Not new but not really old.
Love is everywhere!
In my four months in Beijing this is the only graffiti I’ve seen. It was out of sight behind a building.
