'Have duck will travel', is perhaps not a commonly heard phrase but one I feel appropriate for today's photo.
As a tourist, I felt a touch self conscious at observing these artisans at work. Their concentration despite the distraction was admirable.
Back in 1991 in China, this appeared to me to be the Chinese F150 - the 1 manpower, bicycle pickup.
I found it fascinating to peek inside this world. In this photo of an artisan at work, a lady fixes a clay leaf and stalk to a clay vase.
I took this photo of five men hanging out in Suzhou by the same lake as yesterday's angling photo but it's not the same pier or building but a similar one a short walk away.
After a couple of hours, our boring diesel train pulled in to Suzhou and we were taken by bus to a hotel by a lake. Taking a stroll that afternoon I took this shot of some locals fishing from a pier built out into the lake.
