Picked up a nice old postcard of the Soochow (Suzhou) Creek recently and finally got around to scanning it in – not sure of the date but given the amazingly heavy traffic on the Creek, the complete lack of mechanised craft and the buildings along the Creek bank it’s reasonably early. Whatever the date it’s a fascinating picture just for the sheer busy-ness of the Creek which is incredible. Nothing else to say except that it’s a nice photo so I thought I’d stick it up.
