I had to go to China Town yesterday. This is a replica of a famous structure--don't know what it is called---the young man I was with could only say it in Mandarin and that didn't help me much!!
But I took it more because the Sears Tower is just to the left of it in the background.....
Thats stunning, I will take a picture of the gates in China town in Manchester next time I go. The colour are so nice
ReplyDeleteKinda like the modern vs anciet view point you captured here...Still amazed at your picture taking ability! Did that skip me? Must have!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous structure. The other buildings must be very nice too. Is this a large Chinatown?
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Chinatown. That is a beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteNeva, I bet all the dragons symbolize something, too. Very interesting the juxtaposition of the Old Chinese culture with the glass and steel of Sears tower.
ReplyDeleteI had to explain in my blog why my posts last week were curt and canned.

This is different to your usual shots Neva - this is so "big city" compared to your usual rural/small town photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat detail on the structure.
I was going to say what Steve said...interesting contrast between old and new cultures. It is also amazing that there seems to be Chinatowns in many cities, world-wide.
ReplyDeleteelle est magnifique, les sculptures sur les murs sont d'une beautée. Vraiment l'art chinois (et l'architecture chinoise) est splendide, une de mes preferees
ReplyDeleteit is splendid, the sculptures on the walls of one are beautée. Really Chinese art (and Chinese architecture) splendid, one of my are preferred
nice shot
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the close-up details! Love the man passing in front of it too.
ReplyDeleteIs Chinatown very typical in your town, or is there very little to see?
I thought quite nice that the young man could tell you in Mandarin what it was, it means he has retained at least part of his culture!
Neva, it really makes a difference to what you usualy show us. But even in this photo you show that on larger towns there are some rare momentos of peace and tranquility.
ReplyDeleteI like the three plans we have on the photo: grey from the road, multiple colours from the constructions and mouvement from the man and blue for the sky.
Well done.
Isn't that amusing? There's a Chinatown in every country!

ReplyDeleteGreat shot!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog and for the wonderful comments along with 'Power of Schmooze Award'.
beautiful building, great shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a big contrast between the past and the modern. To tell the truth I prefer the past. More colorful and artistic.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I love to visit chinatowns in different cities. I would love to visit Chicago some day. Everyone says it's such a great city!
ReplyDeleteHi Neva,
ReplyDeleteNice building better visit this in your own country, going to China is WAY too far... :)

Like Steve, I only know 'Nine Dragons' mean something in their myth.
