School Kids






School kids in a village outside Lijiang, Yunnan, China
丽江古城外小村子里的小孩,云南


我们从束河骑马到周围的山上转。经过一处小村,村里有处小学。小小的教室里面竟是预备班、一年级和二年级的共用课堂,唯有黑板是分年级的。老师不在,小朋友正在玩耍。

We rode out to the nearby mountains, and found a little village. In the village, there is a small school. There is only one classroom. Preschool, primary one and primary two students all share the same space but use different blackboards. The teacher was not there and the kids were playing.

Descending Stairs / 下楼啰!





Kaiping, Guangdong, China 
摄于开平碉楼,广东

是从深圳开车到开平去的,大概5个小时左右。一路上经过新雨后的翠绿田园,顿时觉得离开东莞越远,广东省的景色就越漂亮。开平建筑结合西方风格、也引用了当时最好的建筑技术。这楼梯如果不是钢筋混凝土,恐怕早塌了。

Religious Debating


Tashi Lumpo Temple, Tibet  The temple is a huge compound, like a little city. We were walking around when we heard voices round a corner. It turned out to be a scripture debating session in the courtyard.

Roofs





















House in JiuZaiGou, Sichuan. We managed to get accommodation inside the park. The photo shows the view outside the corridor leading to my room.

Here's a tip on getting accomodation inside the park. Anyone you ask outside the entry will say you cannot stay inside. When you get inside the park, ask any local (aka Tibetan looking person) and some may have ways to find you a bed. This worked in 2005.

Yalu Tsangpo River From Plane





























Plane back to Chengdu, Above Tibet. I think the rainbow effect is cause by the refraction of light from the aircraft's window. Looks amazing though.

Yak 1


















Namsto Lake, Tibet. Snow came down suddenly, and it was quite wet. My fingers were freezing in the cold as I quickly took out my camera to take this picture.

Yak 2
















Namsto Lake, Tibet. Straight after I took this picture, someone came and asked for money for taking a photo of his yak head. It was quite an effort to act angry and aggressive at high altitudes, but I am such a cheapskate I got over the lack of oxygen.

@ Home. Really starting to love the supermacro function of my Canon Powershot SZ200IS. The subjects are paper clips in a plastic container. Light source from my laptop monitor.
