life must go on[/caption]
In the midst of a city being demolished, life refuses to stop and be arrested. Kashgar is rich with craftsmen of all kinds and to survive they must continue crafting and go on selling.
In the streets of the old city, this old metal craftsman was selling his creations while hammering away at a piece of metal that will become another household tool when he is done.

Beautiful as ever! Wow, I don’t know if I’m looking at a world class painting or a photograph. I can see details all over. Such a great job as always!!
I love this picture, it is wonderfully composed and it tells such a story of stoicism and human dignity.
I always think of the American Southwest when seeing turquoise and rust together but here it is, beautifully portrayed in China. An amazing photo, Mimo.
Wonderful…thanks for sharing all your wonderful travels!
It’s a powerful image Mimo… great use of colour
