Wide and Narrow Streets in Chengdu are two streets harking back to the Han Dynasty days of the city, they are as much "re-creations" as "restorations" but the whole area does have a very enjoyable quality about it for wandering, browsing, cafes and restaurants. The houses along these streets that are not businesses are actual homes, this entrance I'm pretty sure is a restaurant. I liked the way all the elements of colour, line and texture played with each other, right down to the little girl being in red.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

PS, if you haven't got the message yet, Chengdu is a seriously great city to visit and some of the nearby nature areas are totally amazing as well.

Contrasting tones are really captured well in this one Mik!

It looks very similar to 'our' China Town in Newcastle!

All the different elements combine to make this a pleasure to view. The contrast of the red gossamer material and the grey flagstones is especially nice. Glad you captured so people in it as well.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I'm wondering just what she's looking at, Mikel. There's so much to view, but both the mom and the child seem to be intently scrutinizing something. Wonderful colors and a nice hodgepodge of stuff for me to look at in this image. Hard to believe that I have the same doors on my house. :-)
