Lijiang,
Cobblestone streets
Lined with small shops.
Delicacies on sticks
Wafting in the air.
Artisans peddling wares
Of ancestral heritage.
Red silk lanterns hanging,
Illuminating the night.
The China of my dreams.

Come the Chinese
From the big cities.
Come the European
With camera in hand.
Come and gather
The sights and the sounds.
Sense that time has stood still
In the China of our dreams.

In their many faces,,I saw all of what they live,
their skills, so easily made their crafts so fine.
Watching them do this,,I thought of all they had to give.
Generations of work,,all here within my walk,
They were all so very friendly,,all with their broken talk.
Like an alien,,,on another planet,,it was so very cool.

Thought I'd throw out my thoughts from your pic here,,
A very nice write,,and welcome to aplace your call home,,flowerforyou

Thanks, all, now if only I can figure out how to edit my photo to make it smaller. Using an iPad app so not all the options are available.
