Rooftops in Rain
China 2005
These roofs, adjacent to a newly renovated, touristy complex, covered a shabby section of town. I wanted to explore these tiny streets and peer into these houses and shops. I didn’t get a chance. We had a schedule.
In reality, the roofs were shades of brown. I gave them a blue color and the look of a rainy day to emphasize the shape of the eaves and the varied colors of the tiles which most likely are due to many repairs over the centuries.
