Night Lines

One from the archives, taken in Harbin, China, 2018. Not the sharpest photo – I was without a tripod and ended up resting it very carefully on the railing of a bridge. I’ve always liked this one.

Harbin’s Grand Theatre

One of the hidden wonders of Harbin is the Grand Theatre. It is an absolutely stunning building. There is a path that leads up onto the roof and gives an amazing view of the Northern and Southern parts of the City – just try and ignore all the spiders keeping you company along the way.

Harbin Portraits – Stalin Park

Not the best name for a park, but it’s a really nice place to walk along the Songhua River. Found at the end of ZhongYang DaJie, the park has a large paved concourse that leads to parks running alongside the river. Lots of activity, as you would expect in a Chinese park, but what caught my eye the most, were these old guys writing on the paving.

Man writing chinese characters on the street

Man writing chinese characters on pavement — I love the artistry of this guy’s writing. I waited for ages trying to get a clean shot of him, he was by far the most popular of the street writers and drew quite a crowd. I can see why.
