Reshui August sunrise - DD4T3532b

Not sure why I've never printed or published this image. My recollection is that in August 2004, the opportunity arose to do "waiting list operating lists" and instead of pay, 5 lists earned an extra week of annual leave. Most surgeons weren't interested but given that the days were numbered for the Jitong line, I took a week in August and got from Norwich to Xilinhot with KLM all in 19 hours. A week was spent, riding from Baiqi to Halouku in a brake van, pottering on the pass, meeting the Grumpy Gunzels. The sunrise shot in August was tricky because one had to be up at 0430 as I recall - anyway, the steam gods played ball on this morning and I wandered down from the hotel in Reshui and was fortunate to get a train heading west.
