Pingyao, an ancient town in the Shanxi province of China, completely walled, preserved and authentic looking, is home to the yearly Pingyao photography festival where thousands of photographer meet. I visited for 3 days as 2 of my photographs were curated and included in a show there and during the last 2 days, it rained endlessly setting a beautiful mood for photography. I walked and walked, got drenched and took some photos that I will treasure for always.

Inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Nice photos
what a great image, the guy with the umbrella, love it!
Thank you so much Karl!
Beautiful and evocative! Thank you Mimo…
many thanks!
always a pleasure to look at your photos – I was blown away by the colours and composition of your third pic, and somehow umbrella pictures are so poignant – or is that just me?
Thank you, that’s a self portrait snapped with the iphone 🙂 I think umbrellas are so striking in images, and I never tire of photographing them on rainy days.
Very much so! The following image of the blue/green gate is also amazing. Smartphone cameras are fabulous now, I hardly take photos any other way…
Gorgeous work, Mimi.
Your love and respect for people and the earth shines in every photograph.
Sorry about the typo with your name, Mimo! (Autocorrect…)

The images are lovely!! truly beautiful!! (Only if it could change my thinking for china..which is not good 🙁 …due to their cannibalism!!! )
thank you my dear. I am trying to see the good in all 🙂
These are so beautiful, so intimate.

These are all great photos. The cart through the gate had me puzzled for a moment.
