San Ya

Below are some photos I took during a recent trip to San Ya.
San Ya is said to be the "Hawaii of China" however when I went there it was a bit chilly and cloudy.  No beach photos unfortunately but I got a few others.  More plant life than what you find in Beijing this time of year.

City life

It's cold and windy, very cold and windy here in Beijing.
Nevertheless I walked to and from work yesterday just to get some photos of BJ city life.
I like the night photos best.

People

Well, I have said it before and I will say it again. If there is something I don't shoot enough of, it's people!   I should shoot more people, especially in China with such a large and varied populous.  Of course I am talking about shooting photos, come on....it's a photo blog but it doesn't have to be so serious.
Anyway,  below are some photos I took of people in China.  Most are from Hu Nan as it was my most recent journey and I walked through this little town where they were having a kind of fair.  People were selling all sorts of things and all the townspeople were there with these large baskets on their backs.  It was interesting and I got to see it all due to the traffic jam this fair caused.  It's true, sometimes it is good to stop and smell the roses, something like a traffic jam gave me a great opportunity to take some pretty interesting pics.  That is my word of wisdom for the day, make the best of what you got.
Anyway, here they are.
