Moshikou Street - Beijing, China: Often voted one of the most scenic streets in Beijing runs about a mile in length. It's narrow and mostly supports pedestrian traffic. Lined on both sides by small shops selling food, souvenirs, art, clothes, et al. In these photos you will see four animals adorning the Moshikou Street pathway. The cats art from the days when so many food stalls had cats to control the vermin; the Rabbits for this Year of the Rabbit; the camels for when Moshikou Street was the main entry into the city of Beijing with merchants having travelled thousands of miles from throughout Asia with camels packed with merchandise. The fourth animal is me in the striped shirt.
