Wind: Back in Fashion?

girl in wind

Today the wind was blowing like it was about to go out of style.  But, of course, it is one of the permanent things come October.  We can debate whether wind creates beauty or disorder, but let us agree that it brings a mystery mixed with vulnerability to some pedestrians as they protect themselves from its gusts.  One fact we know is she likes that sweet cheese concoction so popular on Nanluoguxiang.  I think her succulent cashmere shawl comes from Woo Scarf, just down the street.

When I got home, my eyes were red and filled with dust, perhaps including some tasty fertilizer runoff particles just blown in from the countryside.

    the wind has indeed been crazy…

    this girl is taking a risk by wearing a skirt! i’ve enjoyed wearing boots and wrapping myself in a big scarf the past few days, and i’ve also been watching people get blown around outside my window.

    This street scene is one of your best – were the two Beijing guys in the background smiling at your taking the photograph or at the girl in focus?
