Found this on the side of a bar. It really kind of explains itself.
These are the ties that are used to "pave" most of the sidewalks in Wenzhou. They seem to be exceptionally fragile, since the vast majority of them are broken... It looked like someone was getting ready to replace some of the broken ones.
A little rest area on a streetcorner nearby. On a bright sunny day like this one, it can be quite nice to take a few minutes, relax and enjoy life passing you by.
One of my attempts to be "artistically photographic." I think it was the combination of light, shadow, and the wood grain that caught my eye.
This was truly a uniquely beautiful day. It was the clearest, bluest sky I've seen since I've been here. It rained the night before, so the usual haze of smog was missing.
One of the most convenient, fun, and terrifying methods of short-mid-range transportation: The Tricycle! For only 5 RMB, the rider will take you up to 1.5 Km. They like to weave through traffic, though, which makes them a bit like a thrill ride... with no safety belt... They take some getting used to, but they're awully nice in a pinch. And for 1/2 the cost of a taxi, they are very well-used by locals and foreigners alike.
Renovation in progress. This guy apparently doesn't like his eyes and wishes them to be rid of their functionality ASAP. He's using a welder without any kind of eye-shield. Doing that is like a concentrated version of staring straight into the Sun...
Life on the riverfront.
Ah, progress... ha
keep the pics coming Chris!
