Marvelous China

China, where does one begin?

Perhaps with a photo, that may or may not tell 1,000 words.

This one...if one can guess, had something that happened that I didn't expect. It was one of the few times, really rare times that as I clicked a couple of photos, someone to the right of these two young men, motioned that I should not photograph, and that was very clear. No exchange of language needed. But I was content to have gotten the two illuminated figures while they took a break on these phones, in a very busy street filled with restaurants and shops. 

In a magnificent city, Hangzhou, this lovely girl fed her baby. The walk around the lake was filled with lovely women to photograph, with their dark hair, white complexions. Their grace and poise is something else that enhances photographs of them. Their delicacy blends into the environment and the calmness you feel in the relaxing atmosphere. 

Wonderfully chaiotic Beijing, busy, colorful, in constant movement. Here is a night scene of the busy modern area of the city. 

Adventure and beauty -- the famous landmark of Huangshan, which inspires poets and artists.

One of the many villages of China, where old customs continue to persist with much charm everywhere one looks.
