These two cute and dirty boys are having their afternoon tea party in the south of Chengdu.
They live under one of the symbols of the city... a big suspension bridge on the main road to enter the city. A very beautiful bridge with great lights in the weekend and nobody realizes what is happening under it!
People living in small and dirty houses between garbadge. Children playing with a shoe they find between the other rubbish. And not even a kilometer further the richest area of the city starts.
Welcome to Chengdu.

David

PS: The TL site in Chengdu is soooo slow these days, so I'm sorry if I can't visit you...

We know but I'm touch David. The fact that those kids are smiling to you give me a bit of hope they are a bit happy.

Excellent documentary shot, thanks to share it with us.

What a joy it is knowing that children can smile, use their imagination, no matter their living circumstances. May they always have this smile to share.

I love the shy expression of the child on the left.... and the one on the right too! :)

thanks for sharing this moving photo.

Bonjour,
Sympathique scène de jeux qui montre ces enfants qui n'ont pas l'air malheureux.
Bonne journée.

hi David

Very good portrait shot and lovely expression. The dirty faces make the shot very down-to-earth. The thick clothes say it is cold outside.

TFS, bill

David, dit is een pareltje !
Op fotogebied dan ...
Hiermee kan je meedoen aan een fotowedstrijd of proberen te verkopen aan een magazine !
" mijne hoed af ! "

Nog van da ! :-)

Hi David,

I also experienced a lot of problems with TL being slow....
Terrible to think of children growing up in these circumstances, but what a lovely picture of children just being children where ever they are.

c'est une scène magnifique. Malgré la crasse on peut voir c'est enfants souriant, c'est évidemment paradoxale, comme la Chine en générale il me semble.

Merci pour cette très joli image.

Wow, what een Kleine lieve 'viespeukjes' zijn dat.
Als je de armoede wegdenkt, een gorgeous streetlive scene.!
The Best Of Today's Post'.!!!
Dagwinner voor mij David.!
Naar de Telegraaf er mee.!!! Kan als poster dienen bij de Olympische Spelen.
Beste groeten van Jan
ps.
Daar moet ik alsnog 10 punten voor geven EN een Groene Ster.!
Werkelijk een schitterende foto, David.
