bits and bobs

various

Various pictures taken around Beijing that I just haven't gotten around to posting.  This one will continue to grow so keep coming back for more.  Unlike my other posts I have used photoshop to distort some of these pictures.  Not all of them will be distorted, the chicken sitting on the bike seat (which I promise will be here soon) has not been photoshopped.  I did actually come across a chicken roosting on a bike seat in the capital city of China.   anyway, enjoy the following pictures.

Below are some photos I took recently in small farming village in Hu Nan province.  It is a farming village as you can tell and most houses are either wooden or brick.  I stumbled across a house being built and took a few photos of it.  The techniques they used are interesting. 

Enjoy.
