A little father-son tug-of-war in Shanghai’s Old Town. I think the father is winning.

There are some nice examples of recent street photography on the LensCulture website here. It makes me think about doing more color work on the street.

The terms gargoyle and grotesque are most commonly associated (in my mind and on the internet as well it seems) with European Gothic architecture, but they also apply to the mythical figures that appear on traditional Chinese buildings.
