Early morning in Chengdu, China (© 2013 Ian Mylam)
A quick postcard from Chengdu, China, where I am for the next couple of days. I was out very early this morning wandering the streets – it was misty and raining gently, but was beginning to brighten up by the time I made this photograph just a couple of streets away from my hotel. Apparently, mist, cloud and rain are the norm here – Chengdu notches up 250 – 300 foggy, cloudy or rainy days each year, and as a result many Chinese liken Chengdu to London, my own city, which is probably why I feel at home already.

Gorgeous Ian… you are an inspiration!
Thanks Meera!
Nice quick capture! The shadow and light is perfect.
Thanks Carlos. It wasn’t actually that quick – I liked the light and shade on the street, so I staked out the spot for half an hour just after sunrise, waiting for something interesting to happen. Fortunately for me this guy came along, so I waited for him to hit my pre-visualised spot on the road, and that was how the photograph was made.
