‘Wash rinse repeat’ is the age old maxim of shampoo sellers trying to get you to use more shampoo than you need.
It looks to me as though this lady is doing her washing up in the river flowing past her door – Suzhou, China, 1991. Behind the tree with the flame-orange leaves, a neighbor looks on.
‘A river runs through it’ is what you can imagine happening to these houses if the river rises another six inches or so.
I love the energy of today’s photo, ‘Full Steam Ahead’. It points to the vibrancy of the Chinese economy back in 1991 and underscores China’s economic ascendency since then.
‘Shifting Loads’ in two senses as in 1) moving a lot of stuff and 2) that stuff moving about on the transport. Today’s photo was again taken back in 1991 near Suzhou in China.
Although I titled today’s photos ‘Suzhou River Scene’ they should perhaps more accurately be titled ‘Suzhou Canal Scene’ for most of the waterways in Suzhou are canals and the straight lines of the banks in this scene look more canalish than riverish.
