Very end of autumn day.

I expected autumn colours but there wasn't much autumn here.

Air was cold and warm sunlight was really nice.

Our guides, from Guilin Photography Tours, setup an opportunity to go into some peoples homes on our first day.

 

It's one thing to be walking around an ancient village but something else entirely to be invited into a home and photograph people within their surroundings.

 

This lady, to me, was absolutely beautiful both in her appearance and in spirit. So was so welcoming when we came in and was so willing to be a subject for our cameras.

 

This is one of my favourite moments from the trip and one of my favourite shots from the couple of weeks that I was in China.

We're in Missouri. Appeared directly to our north in early afternoon. Heard it was over Iowa. 60,000 ft high but you could see it with your eyes. It was surprising how quickly it moved to the east and out of our view within 10 minutes.

 

Local TV station KMIZ featured this photo on their 5 o'clock Breaking News tonight.

Xiapu (Chinese: 霞浦; pinyin: Xiápǔ; Foochow Romanized: Hà-puō) is a county in the municipal region of Ningde, Fujian, People's Republic of China, located along a stretch of East China Sea coast, with many harbours and islands. It is bordered by Fuding City and Zherong County to the north, Fu'an City and Ningde's urban area to the west, and—in Fuzhou City—Luoyuan County to the south.

First about the watch:

This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.

Nice silver pie pan dial.

The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).

 

That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.

 

Now for your Chinese lesson:

The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.

 

Examples:

表带 biǎo dài watchband

手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch

钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock

压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge

高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

Factory entrance, Yangling, China

This tree is native to southern China, where a substantial industry once revolved around the harvesting and processing of its waxy seeds. They were thrown into boiling water to remove the wax, which was skimmed off and used to make candles. The seeds were then pressed to extract an oil for use in lamps, as a purgative, and for making oil-paper and soap. These days Chinese tallow tree is grown mostly as an ornamental, and it is one of the few deciduous trees to produce good autumn colour in areas with mild winters.

The Chinese Lantern plant has many names, such as Japanese Lantern and winter cherry. It has a large orange to red papery covering over its fruit. It blooms with white flowers in summer but the red lanterns appear in the fall. It grows wild in many places and is popular as an ornamental. It can last a long time in a vase, but don't touch it -- it crumbles easily.
