			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Lately I have been shooting a variety of different subjects in and around town on errands and photo walks. Hope you like some of&nbsp;them.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2065/2877871524_64d749e083.jpg?v=0"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2065/2877871524_64d749e083.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>One of the buildings at Taichung's China Medical Center. Shot while waiting for my appointment for a check up there. This is one of the largest teaching hospitals in Taiwan and they have gotten really good at bilingual signage throughout facility with many bilingual staff as well. A welcome element when you are in a hospital and already have other things on your&nbsp;mind.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2878383982_2e32e7c16a.jpg?v=0"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2878383982_2e32e7c16a.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The thing I like about this shot is the representative quality of it-Taiwan is a busy, colorful and vibrant&nbsp;place.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: underline;"><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881091776/breakfast-is-over.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3148/2881091776_00fc4b78b6.jpg" alt="Breakfast is over" width="500" height="375" /></a> </span></p>
<p>The scooter-the preferred means of transport in crowded and certainly urban Taiwan. Rubber thongs optional <img src='http://bbluesman.com/wp2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881093568/stretching.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3213/2881093568_b38c3782c4.jpg" alt="Stretching" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>Just really loved the silhouette of this tree and the rising sun from&nbsp;behind.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881095184/twins.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2881095184_2cf92191c1.jpg" alt="Twins" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>When these towers come into view on my regular morning walks-it is a sign that I have entered the back stretch of my walking. Also like the template they&nbsp;make.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881096728/biking.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3213/2881096728_d6f8ab6499.jpg" alt="Biking" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>School kid pedalling along to junior high-I know because it is my son's&nbsp;school.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881112414/ronnie-chilling.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/2881112414_1b4834fca8.jpg" alt="Ronnie chilling" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>Yes, even in Taiwan we can't escape multi-national corporate clowns <img src='http://bbluesman.com/wp2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881119332/geometric.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3023/2881119332_5a298d703a.jpg" alt="Geometric" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>Very geometrically-themed kitchen&nbsp;store.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2880292677/reflections.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3041/2880292677_4cc98cc8b4.jpg" alt="Reflections" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>Like this pond in front of this restaurant. They have fragrant plumeria blossoms in there and it smells great going past&nbsp;it.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2881129226/aboriginal-spaghetti.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3275/2881129226_41f659d8cb.jpg" alt="Aboriginal spaghetti" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>Haven't a clue of what the aboriginal motif and pasta have to do with one another. I love these craxy, eclectic mashups of cultural icons that are visible in Taiwan's fusion pop&nbsp;culture.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2880301023/crayola-steps.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2880301023_cd5e355c7a.jpg" alt="Crayola steps" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>Made me think of Crayola-that's right the big 64 piece&nbsp;box.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" href="http://bbluesman.com/photos/photo/2880264109/ftw.html"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3251/2880264109_aae8c3318b.jpg" alt="FTW!" width="500" height="375" /></a> </p>
<p>My favorite of the set. This kid was so engaged in his gaming that he nearly walked right into me. I lucked out and got this great shot as a&nbsp;result.</p>
