NEPAL Kathmandu -- A busy main thoroughfare in central Kathmandu, Nepal. Although not as bad as Dakar, Kathmandu has many narrow streets which are often crowded with traffic. Exhaust fumes, generators and local brick kilns cause high and dangerous air pollution levels, particularly outside the annual monsoon season. Noise levels are also damaging to health, with incessant use of horns (which is normal road ettiquette in South Asia) in narrow streets makes the capital a deafening place to be. There is little city planning in the Kathmandu Valley and many of it's problems stem from the increasingly large population. Like Indian cities a large variety of vehicle and their various adaptations ply the roads of the Himalayan capital each day, making for a fascinating, if very noisy, sight -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos
Connaught Avenue, Frinton on Sea, Essex, was known in the 1930s at 'The Bond Street of East Anglia'. Much of it remains unchanged, if somewhat dilapidated from its former glory. The snob value of Frinton used to be the part 'inside the gates' which were the manually operated level crossing gates at the top end of Connaught Avenue. The opposition to removing the gates and replacing them with remotely operated barriers was so great that Network Rail did the changeover during the night and unannounced.
