Description Its small, cold, probably leaks water, most likely has a few infestations, and its no longer there. And despite all of that, its a lot cooler looking then your house I bet. Love that old style chinese window frame and the old tile roof. This is most likely a more recent house build on top of the original house below it when the owners could finally afford to expand a little. I also like that balcony they got going around the side of the house, it seems like a nice place to sit, although I doubt it could support an "american"...ehem...

as and when i have the money and the land it would be lovely to build a proper chinese house from scratch. inside would be modern of course, but the exterior would be lovingly authentic like this.

Nice house dude. Would you mind if I use it in my comic book I'll be posting on deviant art. The main characters would live in it. Also I would put you in the credits. And whats the yellow stuff below the house?

awesome! it doesn't look like a safe place (like you said, I doubt that balcony can hold many people ), but it's still lovely. I like the messy look of it, it feels like it's full of interesting things. and the photo itself has very high cuality, with nice, lively colors

I can't help but ask - assuming this is in China, where is it? I visited some areas in China and saw similar houses. Chinese architecture is just way cooler than American. Great shot... +fav for sure.

uniformgrey [2005-08-07 22:08:29 +0000 UTC]

An excellent example of old architecture, colour depth and fantastic angled shot.

The perspective of this shot is so dramatic. I love how vivid the colours are too. The combinations of reds and greens is so striking. Your general interest and documentation of traditional and 'lower class' china is great to watch and learn from. I look forward to your deviations. It's always interesting to see what you've captured next. Great work.

Amazing colours. Is that place up on stilts next to a river? I can't quite make out what that is to the lower left.

Many of these old houses look a bit unsafe, but I'm sure they'd be very interesting to visit and photograph.
