Description
During brief afternoon rain showers people are taking shelter under the 5-ft. wide covered walkways that run along all store fronts in Chinatown and Little India, Singapore. These walkways allow people to move while it rains or stay out of the sun. The problem is that these sidewalks don't have an uniform height or texture. So it is contantly a little up or down, and, if the surface is wet, some surfaces get slick, others don't. To compound the problem many store displays spill onto the sidewalk itself and reduce the already narrow width.
This picture was taken in Chinatown, Singapore in January 1996 and later scanned.

My computer went out Sunday a week ago and I just now got it back. I am behind in commenting but I will do my best to answer all e-mails and comments. Thanks for understanding,

Looks to be a bit of a battle to get through as well Sig, I think I would opt for the side where there is nobody under the awning. Excellent street scene, I like to see how things are in other countries, how they do their shopping and markets. thanks for sharing. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

fine shot, Sig, and it does look narrow, I would have my probs squeezing through and rather take the outside, even if I would get wet all over...smile
