Horst,

Lovely captures and with very interesting colour. Film, slide or digital?

I especially like the first one, which gives me a strong feeling of 'being there.'

Horst Dieter -

Very nice set. What really makes the first one work for me is the direct gaze of the woman walking towards you.

Horst Dieter,

Amazing: never realised the likeliness to what I saw in Vietnam. And strange to find this cityname compared to the Japanese poetry with the same name.

A Haiku:

To listen, to share,
To waste some time together.
Lifetime memories.

Nice series.
That first shot is great.
Looks like there's many women in China.

@david, marco & soleforeal: Thank you very much for your kind attention. I personally like Haikou very much (have been 3times there) I like most of all the oldtown - I presented some impressions in this forum.

All the best to you gentlemen!

Horst. much enjoyed this fine series. Love the grit. The film's color adds a great mood. The first frame is a panoply of motion, details & a great look. Thanks for posting these.
