The fan salesman was just one of many river vendors who drew up alongside our boat was we cruised the Li River near Guilin, China.
I was toying with titling today's photo 'Yokel' but decided on 'Loaded' instead. Both are applicable in this case.
I found the adaptation to the canal bridge in today's photo to be a wonderfully simple solution to aiding people with bicycles crossing over the canals of Suzhou on the many bridges in the city.
For me, it was like looking through the portal to a hidden world. Much like my photo of the woman washing her hair, I felt a little as though I was intruding, but in this shot the cyclist can obviously see me.
Back in 1991 in China, this appeared to me to be the Chinese F150 - the 1 manpower, bicycle pickup.
Today's photo, 'Hold on Tight' was taken in Tienanmen Square in 1991. I'm not sure what the boy was watching - perhaps all us strange foreigners, perhaps another police squad marching from A to B.
