I love that ‘黑’(black) word character which stenciled on the back of the bus. The character type design is good in bold and graphically balance. Good simple stencil type that I like. Nice! (picture taken, Harbin 哈尔滨, China 25/12/08)

The color attracted me to look at it. It is a nice color combination. The old Chinese type and numbers were peeled off from a wooden wall of the house located at the street of Harbin city. Nice! (picture taken, Harbin 哈尔滨, China 25/12/08)
