WHAT WOULD BE MINE?, a photo from Macau, South

Photographer's Note

Macau is the second largest concentration of people by square kilometer in the world after Monaco. Most of the residential buildings are very ugly and they love to put metallic grids in the verandas of their apartments that looks like rusty abandoned cages filled with clothes drying.
Here I as leaving the city center. I walked to the port and few time after I was closed in the middle of a freeway with no way to reach the port, located few meters ahead but dozens meters in a lower level, that part of the town wasn't made for pedestrians and I walked a lot to escape of that trap, in HK was ever worst.
...............

Macau é a segunda maior concentração de pessoas por quilômetro quadrado no mundo depois de Mônaco. A maior parte dos edifícios residenciais são feios e eles adoram colocar grades de metal nas sacadas, e aquilo dá aos prédios o aspecto de uma gaiola abandonada e enferrujada, cheia de roupa secando.
Aqui eu estava saindo do centro da cidade, depois fui caminhando para chegar ao porto. O problema é que aquela área da cidade não foi feita para pedestres e eu acabei preso numa via rápida, perto do porto, mas dezenas de metros acima dele, perdi muito tempo e caminhei muito para escapar daquela armadilha. Em Hong Kong foi ainda pior.

Jorge, scooters are useful to circulate in a city like Macau where there is a high density of population. Two wheelers are more adaptated to the traffic jams. I like the shop signs in Chinese. Good daily life photo. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.

Hello Jorge,

How good that you were able to include a helmeted person, who made that link between herself and the bikes. We pick up the title, which one will she choose!
Your problem reaching the port created a good opportunity for you to capture this interesting photograph, with a fine composition.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jorge,
It's a good photo, but more interesting than "nice". The long lines of motorbikes give us a good description of life and habits here. One person in the middle of the street provides life and the red helmet is a very strong focal-point. The note is amusing. You didn't get lost here but you had some trouble once again. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Jorge,

The red helmet is an eye-catcher. The point of view is showing the details of the scooters. There is a good contrast between the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge, I know very well how it is. I always have problems with crossing the streets when there are no lights. And in Jeddah I had to take a taxi just to be on the other side of the street. In Bikaner (India) I went half an hour along the street trying to meet my friend just on the other side. os the not so wide street. Here it is just neutral, not especially ugly, not big traffic, just the parking place for motorbikes. How to find yours is another theme. The girl with the red helmet just in the right place is important for the composition.

Kind regards MAlgo

Hi Jorge,
interesting honest note :)
I like the scene here, even though may be not pretty it is a great reportage from daily life showing the reality of Macau.
The motorbikes make a nice repeated motif. I admire how well they are arranged next to each other.
The lady with the red helmet adds a nice touch.
Very well seen and captured,
M

Hello Jorge
A very recognizable situation. Where did I put my bike or moped in the long line again? You often lock it thoughtlessly without paying attention to where exactly.
Excellent observation !
Have a good week, groet Rob

Hi Jorge
ya this is a fun shot for sure, and actually very culturally accurate too. interesting to read your note about the city and its architecture. I've never been here, so its unknown to me.
fun shot with the numerous motorcycles all parked and the woman in the red helmet. Happy Holidays!
cheers
