Description
The old streets of Pingyao, quickly disappearing in favor for newer "old style" buildings. Poorly maintained and falling apart, its a pity they will probably be traded for something newer rather then repaired. Older generations remember growing up in places like this. This old lady, with her bike, waiting, passing time as is the door.Voigtlander Bessa R2a, Zeiss 50mm f2 Planar ZM, Fuji Superia 200

It is a shame to see places with such character as this get redeveloped, though I guess the people who live there will be happier (as long as they do not get kicked out).

There is always something that stands out so unique in your photos besides the contrast of old versus now. The plaid seat cover made me smile...a kind of 'whatever works' feeling.

Again, another good shot depicting the life there. At first glance, I had thought it was a man because of the way her jacket was closed. She seemed so oblivious to you, and looked quite natural!
