Chinatown by maggiemae

Chinatown

There seems to be always a Chinese Quarter in so many of the big cities! This is in Ottawa and I’m sorry I couldn’t stand in the middle of the road and avoid this power pole. I may not have survived!
I have chosen another app to make this power pole look less annoying.

Three Good Things:
1. I found “Anna’s Hair Salon” here in this Chinese area - it had two elderly Chinese fellows who didn’t look like Anna at all! However the haircut that I got, couldn’t’ be faulted! All short now for the hot weather.
2. Believe it or not, I chose to have a roof top spa experience in temps of 35deg C! Once you were under the water it didn’t matter at all!
3. There is a lot of great Art in this city - I just have to find it!
Glad you used sense for your safety. Neat glowy edit!

@alophoto Though I have to admit...the Canadian drivers are so polite, they would stop if you jay walked........ or stood in the middle of the road with a camera!

@maggiemae I remember when I was in Novia Scotia once we loved how everyone waved as they passed. Sweet people!

Great processing! You were lucky to find a good hairdresser so quickly!

@louannwarren I was, Lou Ann- most of the hair dressers were closed on Monday and also, I had to find one within walking distance!

@janemartin Its just an archway over the road, Jane, not a building but always very ornate, these Chinese gateways!

@maggiemae I can see that now I look on a bigger screen. It really is quite something!

You are having an adventure Maggie! I can't see the power pole at all as it's so busy & colourful! You are right of course the Chinese quarters in cities seem to be essential to city life!

@happypat Nothing dangerous in my ventures, Pat! I am too wary!

A really colourful building. Nice processing too.

Fascinating architecture and color. Your choice of processing accents that quite nicely. I think I might have just cloned out the top part of the light pole and let the bottom blend in with the architecture. It would hardly have been noticed.

Very cool processing & detail.

@grammyn I did try that cloning, Katy and after several echo seconds, I decided it looked too artificial - besides, my cloning tool was getting tired!
