Chinese Sign

Like the framing, perspective and the color / contrast tones using the blue sky background. Additionaly, the gold Chinese characters and roof edge ornaments add impact.

 

Where was this taken?

 

Thanks Paul. I just came back to Montreal to see my family and get my DMR ISO selector wheel fixed almost a year after it fell off. Anyway, I was surprised to see this new structure here in Chinatown, authentic and traditional.

 

Cheers,

The gold lettering stands out well. Looks like it belongs here as a travel photograph. What does the sign say?

 

I'm afraid that my Asian language skills stop at Indonesian and Malay... I'll have to ask someone who knows... ;)

The Chinese characters may be associated with Sun Yet-Sen. He was elected president of the 1st provisional government of the Republic of China in early 1912.

 

Thanks Paul. Certainly more than I could dream to muster.

 

Cheers,
