This photo was also taken in Guilin a few years before the previous photo. I added the brick wall and Chinese characters to hide the rest of the photo which was just distracting. Maybe all wall is too distracting too. I may have to try something else with this photo sometime. It was taken with a point and shoot camera and again there was no time for a second shot. Although the timing for the boy could not have been better, the photo could have been better.
In an attempt to get a few things up on my blog I'll post a few photos. So far every post has featured a photo from Asia. I'll stick with that theme for a few more. This one and the next two will be photos of mother's and children on bicycles in China. This one was taken in Guilin. Guilin is a popular tourist city, I found the tourist areas near the Li Jiang river to be uninteresting. However, walk a few blocks into the city and there are some charming areas that I fell in love with. When I saw this little girl standing on the back of bike with her pretty dress I scrabbled to get the camera out of my bag. Just in time for this one shot. Seconds later they were out of sight, hidden by the traffic.
