Great pictures. It could easily be Japan, the city structure is similar in both.
Ah, yeah, if it's got uniform concrete bank it's not a river!
I think the dots on the panels of the railway track are holes in the concrete covers so that maintenance guys can poke their lift 'em up metal tools in and check underneath.
Those old industrial areas are fascinating, just the variety of rusty corrugated metal panels is interesting in itself.
I've always thought that the views from railway tracks are interesting, in cities moreso than in rural areas.

I had a double-take on that second-last pic. People rowing in a near-dry drain?!
Then I saw the faint outline of a deeper section, and I was like, "Oh yeah, they have those lol." Still, having to row around the pillar must be a bitch to speed rowing.
@husky: Wow, I didn't see those clouds. They do look like a plane's nose, huh?

I've no clue at all why I said that about concrete banks and rivers. Of course almost all rivers in Japan are storm-controlled through cities ... duh.

Those photos are really great, Roar! I like your pick of the channels in the terraces. Your train ride is very beautiful! Although it might seem like daily routine to you, all of those pictures make me want to get out and explore.
When I was in Kyoto, I found that a lot of rivers, although routed into storm-protected channels throughout the city, still were surpassingly beautiful, and sheltered protected wildlife.
This one is in Toyama, not Kyoto:
I think there are more interesting things that can be done with urban rivers than have been done in Los Angeles.

That second picture is really nice. The simple choice of wooden railings instead of metal adds so much beauty to that scene and making the chanelled river an amenity by giving steps down to it adds so much to communities I think.

Except they're sometimes concrete blocks painted to look like wood. Like in theme parks, you know?
@Saviour: We have poor people, we just don't have slums. FYI Singapore has the largest income disparity in the world, which is starting to become a big deal.
And well, the idea of "river" differ for people and location. A river in Singapore is only a stream in Africa, for example.
@Mush: Actually, I do. Or used to. I'd see some nice scenes and then, one weekend, I'd just go there and walk around alone. Very relaxing. Benefits of being a lonely single haha *cries*
