Such very beautiful images. I admire your gift with the camera. I am trying desperately to find someone in Marrakech to teach me a few camera basics - it's not easy.
Fantastic images, as always, sir. You've got a wonderful eye. Two, actually, I think. ; )
The sixth image, are those brushes of some kind? Like for calligraphy or something? Hard to know what scale we're looking at, but they appear to be exquisite.
And the chocolate tea set intrigues me. How do the Chinese fare in les artes del chocolat?
beautiful, beautiful pictures! i love take photos and i have a very nice camera BUT i don't have any know how on how do it very well... anyway, these are beautiful pictures
Can't get enough of China here, Tim. The Olympics were super but the view you share is what we love most of all...those fabrics - Wow. And the little shoes :o)
The colors are just overwhelming. Definitely different "window displays" than we are used to in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteAnd the painting is exquisite. Would be hard to not take something like that home.
All those colors & textures. Wonderful. I just wish I was over there w/a wad of cash. I love that stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabrics! Did you handle any of those brushes? And I love all the blending of time from myth to Mao.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos; very exotic displays. The fourth photo from the bottom reminds me of a former boyfriend (or should that be boy-fiend?) LOL
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo essay... It says more even without words!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing these. The pictures are great and being the creative person I am, I really appreciate the art you captured.
ReplyDeleteWell, who wouldn't be elated after that kind of window shopping? Such vivid colours. Breathtaking.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photos! ...and there's no way that I'd be satisfied with just window shopping - I'd definitively buy a brush or two ;-)

(Yep, I'm totally making up languages now...)
Takes me back to my years in the orient.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the gold dust day gecko in the sidebar. I tried breeding a pair of them once (unsuccessfully).

ReplyDeleteWere those chocolates tasty?

ReplyDeleteu should changed the title to Flea Market Trip hehe
What a sensory experience, an outdoor (?) market. Such richness in colors and texture.
ReplyDeleteWow.
Sleeping time huh? Or else there should have more new pictures on your site. Why not show us your amazing garden, Laowantong?
ReplyDeleteforgot to ask today, "Did you purchase anything in China to bring home?" (Still lusting over the silks). Thanks for the cookies.
ReplyDeleteThose are some of the most amazing photos. Can you bring me back some of those shoes? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about Chinese textiles is the rich colors and prolific use of red.~~Dee
Your photos are amazing. I have no better words to describe them they are so good.
