Red Door and Handles :: Shanghai Summer 2009
Taken somewhere in Shanghai. Pretty sure it was around the Jade Buddha Temple area.
More Xing Ping details :: The Rabbit Door.
Rabbits, the sun and the earth make up the details in this interesting panel on an old door in Xing Ping. I’m not sure if there is a story to this scene, if you know of one, please write back and explain!
The Garden Path :: Xing Ping Summer 2009
Anyone know what the Chinese Characters above the door means in this Xing Ping area street scene?
Xing Ping Roof
Roofs, doors and windows are all interesting in these old traditional houses of Xing Ping in South West China. This one doesn’t have the interesting lattice work like yesterday’s image, but the roof makes up for it!
More Houses in the Xing Ping area
Looking at the detail of the houses in and around the Xing Ping area can be really interesting. Here I really like the brick pattern and the design of the window. Simple and effective.
Street scene in Xing Ping
A typical street scene in Xing Ping, near Yangshuo, Guangxi Province in China. July 2009.
Another Door in Xing Ping
Outside one of the traditional houses in Xing Ping, near Yangshuo. July 2009.
China :: Summer 2009 :: Interesting Door in Xing Ping
China and doors seem to be a recurring theme for me. This is one of my favourite images from my summer holidays and was taken in Xing Ping in Guangxi Province near to Yangshuo and Guilin. I particularly like the old door and the wood piles outside. What do you think?
Asleep in China III :: Headless dreams…?
Not quiet sure if this is either comfortable or possible! He definitely seemed to be sleeping like a log!
Asleep in China I :: Sumer 2009
The Chinese have an enviable ability to sleep anywhere and at anytime… Many times I’ve been on a bus or train so jealous of this ability!
So the next few images are dedicated to sleeping in China!
View from my Window :: Shanghai July 2009
Taken on one of those days when the light is just right. This is the view from my apartment in Zhongshan Park in Shanghai.
Window Frame
Simple patterns, like this one of a window frame in the Moganshan Lu area, can be really interesting. Taken in Shanghai during my summer vacation.
Hangzhou :: Flowers, water and sky.
More images from my travels in the summer. These flowers are everywhere around the West Lake.
Chinese Dragon
I guess this might be the start of a series of blogs from my summer vacation around China. This was taken in Shanghai, not too far from where I currently live.
Yangshuo Transportation :: Summer 2009
Taken on my summer travels around China in July. I’m still looking at transport and this image today seems to fit with the one from yesterday, even though they are very different!
