This week’s photo challenge is Quest.
The theme is quite abstract and not one which is easy to respond to.
All of us are looking for happiness, or at least, would not like to be unhappy.
While travelling in Yunnan, I came across these big open statues of the Buddha.
He has a smiling face.
He has the wisdom to be happy.
You can’t find happiness by looking for it, although this is our quest.
This is a photo which I have never posted.
The water up in the lakes of Jiuzhaigou, China is blue; it is so rich in calcium.
The surrounding is so serene, the area is lush, together with the lake, they make a great picture.
This is like a post card!
The views you get travelling up the Yangtze River are not quite the same as floating down the same river, people told us.
I can believe in this as views can be different if you view them the other way.
The trip was unforgettable!
I was entranced when we made our way up with the sun setting in front of us. It was surreal!
This is a sequel to my last post.
This photo is more stunning than the two I posted yesterday.
The steep cliff overlooking the Yangtze River is just striking. The river level was raised due to the impounding of water by the Three Gorges dam.
Just imagine what it was like when the river was a lot lower!
Not sure why the theme for this week’s Photo Challenge has not been announced.
I therefore stick to the theme for last week – Edge.
The Three Gorges situate in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River China,
Some of the best views can be seen cruising on this section of the Yangtze.
Some of Three Gorges’ view are rated AAAAA!
Here are a couple of photos showing typical edges of the silt laden Yangtze River.
Many of these are steep sided gorges as evidenced in my photos.
Fantastic views!
This week’s photo challenge theme is Edge.
Here are a couple of photos taken in Jiuzhaigou, China.
It shows a distinctly divided edge between the lake and the mountains.
Just like the Pamakule in Turkey, these are pools containing high levels of dissolved calcium contained within naturally formed levees of deposited limestone.
Unlike Pamakule, this is at a very high altitude where normal breathing could be a problem.
This week’s theme is Edge.
I have shown this picture a few times before.
This will not be the last time I show it.
The fence there marks the edge to a paradise. . . . . . . . . it makes me come back to my senses and prevent me from falling into the paradise.
Picture was taken in JiuZhaiGou, China in Autumn.
