I like this photographer's style and the way he focuses on everyday things.

Good everyday life pics. Brings back memories of my trips there. Thanks Robert.

[screamneagle]

Yes! Many fond memories in those pix!

Ah, the good life in Chengdu. Looking forward to retiring there in many years.

 

Thanks for this.

Yeah, it 's kind of my town since lao po is Sichuan native.

 

I don't like the food though ,,,, it has spicy sauce in ALL of them . Caused me diarrhea .

Otherwise, Sichuan is a very nice place ; lot of temples and other scenic & cultural spots.

Are these old photos? I never seen a bycycle in Chengdu. On my 3 trips to Chongqing, I only seen a half dozen bycycles....

My lao po is also from Sichuan. But I like the food there. I've seen many bicycles in Chengdu.

Not only did I like the pictures, but I am hoping to make chengdu4me magically show up here by posting this. Larry, come back!

Hah! I would like to hear from him too. Been awhile. I met him for lunch last year at Hooters in Chengdu. Great guy. Anyone know how he is doing?

Nice pics...haven't been to Chengdu yet but many of the sights are very similar to scenes I've seen (tongue twister...say that 5 times fast) in other parts of China.

Last I heard, he was headed to the Philippines to live.

I could kick myself for not copying some of his photos from his travels, especially when he and his (then) wife went to the famous mountain. Anybody remember the fantastic pic of the old lady leading the the monster water buffalo on a leash? I tried to search for that thread a couple different ways and could not find it. Do we still have that in the archives here? (Beggar begs compugenius to find, please).

No, buddy, that was not it. The thread I want was just all pictures one after another with them traveling and then hiking on this mountain. There was the little boy in the field with his mother and they threw him some candy and when he ran back to his momma he had the cute little open flap on the back of his pants. There was Larry learning how to thresh wheat by hand. Man that guy made some good pix but the old lady with the buffalo was awesome.
