Greetings.  This and another photo ( https://gwulo.com/atom/11304 ), I believe were taken in the same area and direction seconds apart.  The similarities are the line of displayed items with sticks, a man standing outside the shop, shadows on the walkway.  As  the photographer got closer to the man, I am puzzled why the camera did not capture the overhead sign with four lines of Chinese shop ad.  Thank in advance for the explanation.  Regards,  Peter

Hi Peter, I think the two photos were taken some distance apart, as the signage in the distance, and the Chinese characters on the pillars, don't seem to match. The man outside the shop in each photo is likely two different people.

 Hi Peter - The photo below would match the topmost photo. Follow the lady ahead. The middle photo of the man with the white bag on the left can also be seen below but it seems to be a continuation of the same photo.

Greetings, and thank you David and moddsey for your explanation.  There are indeed too many dis-similarities when I tried to equate the two locations.  Regards,   Peter
