rider on the storm, a photo from Zhejiang, East

Photographer's Note

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

---

Still life from the rural deep south of Zhejiang province.
This picture was taken near Xiaocun in the Taishun area.
The area is famous for its many covered bridges.

Bonjour Benny ,
Une vue de la campagne chinoise qui semble évoluer moins rapidement que les grandes villes . J'aime bien cette composition , avec le cycliste capé de bleu , et l'ambiance humide qui s'en dégage .
Amicalement

Hello Benny. Even a rain overcast day has its appeal. The photo shows your good observation. In combination with the poem is given the photo a new quality. Compliment for the good shot. Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Benny,
This is a high quality picture taken in rainy conditions. The green FG is nice and strong and the cyclist with his blue cape is really good. The misty hills behind help tell the story of the storm. Excellent.
Regards, Ann

Dag Benny
Bij het zien van deze foto gaat mijn aandacht onmiddellijk naar de fietser met de regenkap, een mooi contrast in dit sober landschap dat op mijn beeldscherm iets te groen overkomt.
Veel groeten
Luc

Hi Ben
If it wasn't for that spectacular raincoat I would have been fooled to believe that this photo was taken in Albania at least some years ago.

Great journalistic photo and great mood.

Thanks for sharing

Benny,
When I think of Rider in the Storm, this is not the image I have in mind :) More like in the desert with dark cloud and a lone horse rider...

I guess this the Chinese Rider in the Storm. Cool shot, as I come to admire your gallery are this type of real life photo, no matter what the weather condition is, and not just all the pretty sunset drammatic light. Just your every day moment, good or bad. Thanks for all that.
Way

Hello Benny,

Well captured and daily life shot with pastoral spectacle and depth!
You catch well the atmosphere of chinese village, and it's impressive for the contrast of rice field and old houses behind. And, a man who is pedaling a bicycle wearing blue raincoat to body draws out a good effect for the whole, I think.
