On the streets of Kashgar, a little Uyghur boy amuses himself with items he finds on the street, as his father metalsmiths a teapot over a bed of hot coal in front of his shop.
Kashgar is an oasis city in the Taklamakan Desert of Xinjiang, and was a key post on the ancient silk road; Today there is still a lively trade of metal and clay pottery, carpets, silk, jewellery, fresh produce, and livestock.
