A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.

Caption This 18
Please name/caption this image [See below for instructions]
Shanghai, China, May 2007
This is one of the first photos that I captured after landing in Shanghai. We were on the bus on the way from the airport to our hotel, and I shot semi-randomly out the window as I tried to capture a quick hit of the essence of this very different-to-me place.
I first tried the out-the-bus-window technique in San Francisco earlier this spring. I figure it worked there, so it was worth trying again. I need your help with a caption, though. Here's the lowdown on how Caption This works:
Lee Ann gets the nod for last week's caption. She coined this: Would you like fries with that? Please drop by her site and congratulate her.
Your turn: Please come up with a zingy caption for this week's photo. Enter as many times as you want. Bonus points if you get immediate family members and beloved pets to join in. Most of all, have fun with it: I'll post the winner next Sunday.

ReplyDeleteHi Carmi. How exciting that you have news! I can't wait to hear it!
ReplyDeleteDara has already coined the first thing that came to my mind as I was going to say 'The Abbey Road of the People'. How about 'A zebra never changes his stripes'?
Looking forward to more of your pics from China.
Michele sent me back.
ReplyDeleteHow about a touch of Aerosmith for the caption? 'Walk this way'
bustle abroad
ReplyDelete"We will follow whether the red bag goes."

I am not good at this, Carmi. No caption here, but Mother's Day is mostly sunny and mid-seventies - a little cool after yeaterday's 85!

ReplyDeleteHow 'bout "Walking the Shanghai-way"?
ReplyDeleteCome on, shoot some hoops with me. (said by the kid with the red sneakers). I'd say, welcome back stateside, but since you're not in the states, I'll make it "welcome back provinceside." And Michele says hi.
ReplyDeleteSo typical of Asian cities.
ReplyDelete"Hustle and bustle."
"Doing, the Beatles walk"
ReplyDeletespoken as if you were singing "Doing, the Eagle Rock"
