Photographer's Note
Back to the South China city of Zhangzhou. One of my fun walk about adventures. There is a variety of road bikes and such getting folks about each day. Beijing has switched to motorized contraptions by rural towns and cities still use mostly human power and work using a modified bike suited for their work needs.
Hope you all have a nice week ahead. I am thinking of upgrading my camera. Any recommendations?
Thanks David

Hello David,
This is a Chinese street view that hasn't changed at all for several decades. Of course this was 10 years ago and much has happened in China since then, but still this street looks very unaffected by the enormous modernization the country has undergone in recent decades. It's nice and interesting and a simple photo of a kind I like.
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour David,
J'aime bien cette sc鈩e de rue. La bicyclette est l'honneur et on ne s'en sert pas juste pour se d駱lacer. J'aime bien cette rouille partout , il n'y a que les pneus qui ne sont pas rouill駸.
Amicalement
Serge

Hello David,
A good daily life streetscape with those bikes in front of some shops. Good narrow and tight composition, which puts all focus on the man and the woman on their old and rusty bikes.

Hello David,
This is a most interesting photograph.
The lady in the f/g, riding the bike and wearing the traditional headgear makes a very good focal figure.
I like how you have included three figures, three is a good number for composition.
Things may have changed now, but this is a record fixed in time.
My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hello David,
time is moving forward fast in China. The helmet and motor on the right you won't find them anymore I'm afraid. Very well composed and interesting photo.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hi David
A good street view with the modified bikes which have a plateform to put the goods. Looking at their color we suppose that they are very old and even with a lot of rust.
Cheers

Hello David,
Great shot of transportation from China. The bike is rebuilt to three wheeler for additional loads.
It must be hard for woman to bike with full load.
Good photo of daily life from Zhangzhou with perfect quality.
Best regards,
Zbigniew
