A garage in a small town in the steppes of Quinghai. Vast expanses of green rolling hills. A few small business to serve the trucking transport business. Lovely and lonely.An alley kitchen. Enterprising Chinese can establish a restaurant anywhere. And they serve delicious food.Apples from China in an open air market.Banana blossoms are beautiful and edible. Exactly how you prepare them, I don't know.The Bank of China draped in banners.A bird in its cage out for an airing along with the laundry.These flat cabbages caught my eye. The market light did the rest.Canoloa fields in western China...Quinghai Province.Carp swim in a pool in a Beijing park.A construction gang in Yunnan Province. I found the Chinese very friendly and gracious when I asked to take their photo. I'm sure most of them were puzzled when I asked but they obliged.Some village women still make embroidered shoes. Nowadays very few minature shoes are needed but there are some elderly ladies with bound feet. These shoes were made by a grandmotherly woman. She welcomed me into her home. It was in a small village. The only light in the room came from the doorway...at least during the day. It was dark in there and she sat on a stool the size of a shoebox on her doorstep while she did her needle work. She was pleased that I photographed the shoes.Festival balloons in Yushou.Firecrackers are a part of every celebration in China, especially weddings. We would be surprised at the explosion of hundreds of firecrackers as we passed restaurants where there was a wedding party.Ginger and Banana blossoms dipped in fuschia.Schoolgirls huddle under their umbrella as they head for school. The sidewalks were slippery with mud slurry. The Chinese were used to it but I was afraid that I would fall.A beautifully arranged basket of vegetables in a farmer's market. An artist with a green thumb.Another beautiful still life done by a local farmer.Hot and cold running water will be found in the alley for many Shanghai residents.
Color filled photographs of China from landscapes to markets, villages to cities, people and places. A glimpse into the soul of China.
