This is a great photo of an area of Shanghai not far from my home. In fact I go right by this area going to and from every day. Being in black and white gives it even more “atmosphere”.
So many pictures of Shanghai, including most of my own, are of the new modern parts or the pretty historical parts. This is more like “real” Shanghai and should remind everyone that China, even Shanghai, is still undergoing a lot of development and many local residents have yet to benefit fully from the great economic boom.
