Lovely, I always wanted to see chinas rural area. Only made it to Beying, Forbidden palace and Tienamin square ( just a year before the students revolt )
Very good shot James !

Lo encuentro un poco oscuro, sin embargo la mirada intensa es muy interesante.
Felicitaciones!

Alison, The buildings do look nice in the evening when they light them up, but I havent tried to photograph that yet.
As for the meaning of the architecture/design, I don't know. Hard to say and I don't think most of the people I know would have an answer either.

Alison, you really have to look hard these days for this type of architecture. It's disappearing faster than you can imagine. Many cities in China don't have any of it any longer.

Hi .B. This image was one of my first digital images, and at the time I really liked it (still do). But now I see how little I knew and how much I had to learn back then.
Thanks for the inspiring comment here.
Take care ~ James

You're right Alison. While I was on this old street taking photos, this girl was not pleased I was taking her photo. After this one I just left her alone. Usually the kids in China will jump in front of the camera, but sometimes not.

Wonderful color on this building, it must look beautiful at night with the globes lit up. Do the horn like pieces coming off each side of the roof, mean something?? Alison

James I really love your port folio. I know this is an old one from 2004, but it's still as thought provoking as it was when you posted it. It is so enjoyable and interesting to see how parts of the world other than ours live, look, dress and feel. You've done a great job here and I hope to see more of your work posted!
Congrats to you.

Hi Alison, Chaozhou is a very old city, first established about 1700 years ago. The wall may have gone around the entire city at one point in time, but all thats left now is a section along the river that's a few kilometres long.
It's still in very good condition (obviously restored) though. I'll upload another photo showing part of the wall as well.

Amitava... they do taste great when warm and fresh. Which lasts for about 30-60 minutes. Then it`s like eating a brick.

Nice composition, James. Thanks for the historical context. The Xiongnu are basically the ancestors of the people we know now as the Mongols, I think.

Very nice, always a building is a great subject for me and so Chinese architecture... very delicate and special, at least for me and my place that the most common with these buildings element at my country is...only the red big lamps of the Chinese shops...only...

Hi Amitava. Unfortunately I only spent a couple of days in Xi'an. There's lots to see and do there but I rushed myself for no good reason. Most definitely want to visit the city again and spend more time there.
These images are fine but would love to get there with my D200 and shoot them in RAW, the improvement would be substantial I think.
Thanks for the comment ~ James

Hi Amitava... that's just river debris I think (if birds nests, those would be very large birds). The water level varies between seasons and that junk clustered around the bridge supports is just leftover from when the water was higher.
I thought of trying to clone it out but it seemed like too much work.
Thanks for the comment, as always.

Lovely! Love the contrast between the gold of the lights and the blue of the sky and water.
Wonder what the plant "debris" is at the foot of each support - birds' nests or river debris?
