CDP Theme Day: August

August’s City Daily Photo Theme is City People and these men exemplify people in the summer.

1. This photo shows how people gather on the streets no matter the season
2. It shows people playing a game outside. Here they’re playing Chinese chess.
3. Summer isn’t complete in China without at least one shirtless man. Often you’ll see middle aged men with their shirts rolled up and their bellies on view.

Click here to see more City People from all over the world. Enjoy.

This entry marks my swan song for new entries as I’ve used up all the free space for WordPress. Occasionally, I may repost a golden oldie for a blogging challenge.

See No Fixed Plans or Ruined for Life for more of my photos. Some are of China, others aren’t. No Fixed Plans has been rather neglected. Expect lots of photos of Asia.

 

City Daily Photo Theme Day: March

City Daily Photo’s Theme Day invites bloggers to post a photo of a municipal building. I chose a Beijing Community Relations building. Every neighborhood has such a building that provides local services, but also employs people who keep tabs on everything

Which Way Challenge

The Which Way Challenge, that Cee began, has been picked up by the Alive and Trekking blogger.  The beauty of it is that it’s free form. You can include images of doors, gates, roads, streets, exits, signs, paths, waterways, you name it.

Just Don’t Do It

It’s dangerous to scale the fire ladder on an apartment, so if you please, just don’t.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Worship

Temple of Heaven

This week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge, which I’m joining for the first time after seeing Cee’s post today, inspires bloggers to search their archives for photos that portray worship. After the horror of the Notre Dame fire, the sacred is on the minds of many.

If you want to join, create a post that depicts worship and link to Dutch Goes the Photo. Tag your post with: fpj-photo-challenge.

Theme Day: Music

Pipa

August’s theme for City Daily Photo is music. You can see more musical interpretations by clicking here.

Southwest of Tiananmen Square (nearest subway station – Hepingmen) is a traditional neighborhood, much of which has been restored. There you’ll find a block or two dedicated to selling traditional instruments. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear some musicians playing.
