Today we continue our quick posts of some of the Street Photography images I captured whilst walking the streets in China. In the last post we looked at a couple of portraits. Today the focus is on the most used means of delivery – the tricycle. When these images were captured peddle power was still the main means of moving anything and everything. The first image is of a local hardware store with the trike outside already loaded and ready to go. The second shows just how much was loaded on these man-powered vehicles and ridden through the streets.

This reminds me of Kathmandu back in the late 1960s – the same chaos and clutter. The only difference being that most things were carried in baskets on the back supported by head bands, or on the ends of long poles.
