HBM

There is a bench in the background, and two long ones below the draped red talismans in the structure rear right.
In Zhangye, China, on the Silk Route.
This is the grounds of an ancient and revered Buddhist temple. As with everywhere in China these days, all public areas are spotless, with armies of cleaners constantly working at it. And no leaf blowers here!
People do not litter and face penalties if they do…CCTV cameras with facial recognition everywhere.

Have a fabulous new week everyone!

I can really appreciate the cleanliness of China, but at the cost of human privacy. We are fairly lucky where we are in England'; not too much in the way of litter, and pride in our local community.

A great shot Diana. The red talismans add colour and extra interest and it is really good to see clean and well kept areas. I remember a friend telling me some years ago how clean the streets were and that there was no littering. Makes such a difference

HBM and best wishes Carol

An interesting street scene with equipment surprisingly little changed since my first visit to China in 1983. The red of the talismans adds a nice colourful change to the rather drab background.
HBM Diana. Have a super start to the new week.
