Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down...
Given the photo prompt upside down and my mind was thinking, hm, what can I do with that... So this is what I did with that... My hubby of almost 18 years, out in the cold, posing for me... We've been married now almost 18 years... And...
As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottom line...
Shanxi (and neighboring Shaanxi) are known throughout the country for their shadow puppets. These four are the main characters from "Journey to the West," which is one of the 4 classical Chinese novels. Seen at a store on Nan Dajie in ancient Pingyao.
Pingyao is considered one of China's best-preserved ancient walled towns. (From my limited travels around China, I wholeheartedly concur.)
Pingyao's history goes back about 2,700 years. Located about 90 km (55 miles) south of Taiyuan in Shanxi (山西) province, modern-day Pingyao has around 450,000 residents. The ancient town, is enclosed within a stone wall, 10 meters (31 feet) high and slightly more than 6 kilometers (3.6 miles) with 6 gates: north, lower east, upper east, south, upper west, and lower west, that was built in 1370.
Within these walls live 50,000 people. Also to be found are a number of religious institutions including temples - the Confucian temple with the oldest surviving building in Pingyao (Dacheng Hall from 1163 A.D.), the Taoist City God Temple, Taoist Qingxu Guan (temple), and a Catholic church, among others.
Besides the various religious sites, there are museums to the banking industry such as the Rishengchang Museum. (The first draft bank in China was located here in Pingyao), a few art museums, and -- centrally located -- a city tower on Nan Dajie.
Pingyao also has many guesthouses (I chose Harmony Guesthouse on Nan Dajie near the south gate and highly recommend it to anyone who goes to Pingyao), restaurants (western and local Pingyao cuisine), teahouses, bars, massage parlors, and souvenir shops.
By day, the panoramic view of Pingyao is slightly reminiscent of the imperial city scenes at the beginning of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (perhaps with a creative imagination). As evening comes, the red lanterns begin to dominate the landscape. Alleys, doorways, the main roads, and courtyards all find themselves awash in a red glow.
In short, Pingyao has plenty to offer by day or night. These images are just a small reflection, through my eyes, of Pingyao's charms.
Hell of a day today, not least of which involved a trip to the walk-in clinic to have the baby's bleeding diaper rash tended to, so this is my best effort for the day. I was thinking of the theme of the week of shadow play when I took it.
Was debating between taking it with some of the bike showing and not. What do you think?
This was taken after work. I saw this guy working in a ditch surrounded by a green mesh portable fence. He was using his hoe. I could tell by his movement and the hoe appearing on the top of the fence with each strike. His white hat was the only thing visible throughout. His body makes for a nice shadow. It looks like a "fist". The hat's contrast with the green and blackness of the shadow make this nice.
Every Thursday a small town nearby has its weekly market. Veggies, fruit, plants, now especially for the veggie garden. Local cheeses, ham and many more... and loads of textiles.
I admire the fine work of embroidery, lace which I couldn't do... but I love to search, find, bring home (for little money, 1 or 2 Euros!) - and plan to use them in mixed media, with Mandalas in mind...

Sometimes the shadow people like to steal away for a little while and be affectionate. Bundi, India.
4/52 for the group 52 of 2012
This week's theme: Shadow
Unfortunately, it has been grey, drizzly and overcast all week. I did glimpse a lovely shadow of a tree driving home from Welsh class on Wednesday, but the sun only broke through the cloud for a minute or two and anyway I didn't have the DSLR with me.
So... it was back to the still lifes.
I was playing around with this candle and some ornaments, trying to get a good shadow on the wall when I realised that the candle had its own rather appealing star shadow. :)
