Chinatown, My Chinatown
"The United States of America and the Emperor of China cordially recognize the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigration of their citizens and subjects, respectively for purposes of curiosity, of trade, or as permanent residents." ~ Burlingame Treaty of 1868
I've taken a few photos in Chinatown, some from last Saturday and some from this morning that I'm really smitten with and glad I captured. I'm low on words right now, so perhaps these images will speak for me.

You photos remind me of another time about 50 years ago when I would visit Chinatown with my grandmother. It was like stepping into another country for a couple hours.
every time you mention china town i think of chinese food. i am hungry now.
Love these! It looks like it would be such an amazing place to take some time and explore!
They are beautiful images, and images of solitude, almost of loneliness. They speak volumes.
Wonderful images! Interesting how parts of our cities are so different...
You did really well on your shoots -- some great images here...
I went through the Flickr collection -- you've got some splendid shots, but for some reason I was especially intrigued by the "Playing and Jumping are Dangerous" sign...
Simply amazing as ever! Why does that one older man look like Hubert Humphrey? lol. I so love your work and your heart.
Love!
Especially the fishes and the little boy!
Lovely and poignant shots! Who needs words?
