Picture of the Week #302 "Colorful Chinatown" Los Angeles, California 2014 Signed & Stamped

We started to go to Venice Beach over Labor Day weekend but the traffic was so bad that we turned around and headed downtown and ended up in Chinatown. As I am primarily interested in taking pictures that make people smile I was scouting around when I saw this beautifully colored building and the great lantern shadows that dotted the walk when this woman strode by with her red umbrella. SNAP! I got it. Pure chance. A little while later a group of young cyclists pulled up and littered the courtyard with bicycles. It reminded me of the mainland China I knew back in 1980.
