A lot of history and character in a street like this. A small village with more then a thousand years of stories to talk about, and the newest story is that this place no longer exists. There are a lot of these small places that have remained untouched by most of the influences of the modern world, although it seems tourism has leaked into the day to day life style. One resident of this place even opened up his house to tourists to come in and have a look, for 5rmb of course. Now that these people dont live here anymore and have moved into the larger towns around I wonder how they will fit in to a more modern life.

Kill people to keep the world spinning...
beautiful. I like the light and reflexes on water on the street and the colors... the darkness of the alley and the light "outside". it just looks a bit slanted... like it's cropped and you took more of the left side.

I choose to follow and believe in God because only He makes sense. I love my friends and family. I know the truth and that it can save them. God is truth.

Do you know the truth? Will it save you?
I agree with =sub117...colours rli make it
no crop, it looks like that jsut ebcause I am standing next to the wall and not in the middle of the street
brilliant stuff... the richness of the textures in this are great... a big tipping of my hat to whoever/whatever wet the cobblestones :)
rain rain and more rain, as is typical in the chinese mountains
I like the super wide perspective of 17mm on a 35mm negative. Nice shot!

I see places like that as sacred, almost... their government does not, apparently x.x I look at this image and imagine that everything in it is a ghost. Haunting shot, nice work :)
