Beijing at work

October 19, 2008

To continue in a photographic vein, here are two pictures I took recently of Beijing workers. This coming week (like the last) I will be a study hermit, with little time for blogging…

Workers in Ritan Park. What kind of work they were doing precisely, I couldnt fathom. They were cutting the grass with miniature sycthes: possibly picking flowers? Or their boss is simply too cheap to spring for a lawnmower.

Update: I’ve since asked a Chinese friend about the first pic. They were most likely planting fresh seed. And weeding while they went along. Seems obvious now.

    These are great photos – especially in B&W.
