Beautiful Ancient Town--Fenghuang
Besides the Fenghuang Ancient Town, Fenghuang County is also famous for its Huangsiqiao Ancient Town, its Ancient Great Wall in the South, and its Qiliang Cave. Tourists can take a bus from the County Long-Distance Bus Station to all these scenic spots. The bus ticket is priced at three yuan.
Fenghuang County is a place inhabited by national minorities such as the Miao and Tujian, so it features strong ethnic charm. Tourists can enjoy the Miao customs by visiting the Shanjiang Miao Village. If you are lucky, you may have a chance to experience the Miao's local fair in Alaying.
How to get there
(1) Travelers arrive first in Jishou, Hunan, by train, and then go to Fenghuang by bus.
(2) Travelers can also travel by air to the Daxing Airport in Tongren, Guizhou, and then go to Fenghuang by bus.
Stay in Fenghuang
Tourists are recommended to stay in the houses on stilts along the riverside. A night stay costs 20 to 30 yuan per person. The hotel Home on the Tuojiang River is the best choice. If you mention China Pictorial, maybe the hotelkeeper will take you on a boat ride to appreciate the moon. Bao can entertain you by singing folk songs.
Fenghuang local snacks
Fenghuang has many local snacks, of which the sugarcoated ginger is a must for tourists. There is a snack store beside Shen Congwen's former residence. The sugarcoated ginger this store offers is the best of its kind, so it is sold at a higher price. Another local delicacy is meat fried with mushrooms.

Today, I attended a tour through The Hague, visiting several places where the Dutch author Louis Couperus (1863 - 1923) lived or situated his novels.
The guide, portrayed here next to the statue of Couperus, was very enthusiastic and told many anecdotes about the author, making it a very interesting tour.
The post-processing technique used here is called the Dave Hill effect, and was loosely based on the recipe on

A child holds the hands of the mother only for a short while, but touches the mother's heart forever
This was taken outside St. Cyriac's Church, Lacock. I was patiently waiting for the crowds to disperse whereas this tour guide was impatiently waiting for his tourist group to catch up
Oli on the right hand side, is trekking guide. Since Mount Rinjani is dangerous during wet season, he works on the gardens harvesting Cacao, Coffee, Avocados and many other things. While walking through the jungle the savvy man gave us a very interesting lecture. Now, during the dry season he leads customer through the national park. Over three days hiking over Mount Rinjani I got to know him and his culture better. Before leading trek, Oli wanted to be a porter so that he could understand the hardship of it. He told me with emotion that he cried after the first day. He did it for two years. He continues to have a great respect for his young porters. Each of them carry 25kg, walk barefoot or with flip-flops all the way. I tried myself at the beginning of the trek just to know what it is. It was quite a challenge but managed to do it the first day. But I had only 9kg on my back. Oli wears Adidas Trail shoes. He told me that he had the fix them all the time because these are bad quality. Adidas makes shoes for Indonesia but downgrade the quality to make products affordable to the locals. You can imagine how the shoes end-up with such use... He was looking at mine all the time. When I told him I'll give him after the trek he had such a big smile ear to ear, it was a pleasure to see him that happy. This photograph was shot at this very moment.
Felt an odd tug yesterday morning to drop everything and head off to a nearby cemetery. Nothing weird about this really, I do it all the time. The oddness I suppose had to do with coming to this particular cemetery and on a bright, sunny day (a condition I usually avoid for this type of work). I intended to take photos, but perhaps there was more to this visit than that. I'm never really sure what drives things like this, but I have learned to heed my inner voice. I wandered about as usual, stopping at random points, taking photos here and there, and often just pausing to take in the environment and the crispness of an autumn morning. I find this approach works well for me. If I try to muscle through, bent solely on photography, both the image quality and the overall experience suffer. Everything in balance, that's what works best for me. I eventually found myself kneeling before this tiny figurine. So small that I could not get low enough to see the downturned face. I pulled out the smartphone (the camera I have found is indispensable for close focus work) and just aimed it blindly and cocked off a couple of frames. It was only later when I pulled up the images on computer that I could really appreciate this scene. Despite the randomness of my arrival, the timing was perfect to create the graceful swoosh of sunlight across the face. And somehow only the face itself was in focus while the eyes seemed to gaze directly at me. Once again I had somehow divined the perfect place to be at just the right moment, in this case a six inch tall figurine amid a 25 acre burial ground. Like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.

A picture of a young MUhimba (cousins of the Himbas, famous in Namibia) i took in south Angola; she was dancing and playing with her long dreadlocks. I asked her what she used to make her dreadlocks, she told me she took the hair of her whole family!

Schoolgirl guide at The Cameron School, Alotau, PNG. She was very knowledgeable, as well as proud of 'her' school.
All the children we met that day were a true testament on why we should take more care of our world ... and its people. The children are our future.
Our guide holding her “Supplies Booklet”. The vast majority of Cuban families rely, for their food intake, on the Libreta de Abastecimiento, a supplies booklet distribution system. The system establishes the rations each person is allowed to buy through the system, and the frequency of supplies. The changes in Cuba in recent years have often hinted at a new era of possibilities: a slowly opening economy, warming relations with the United States after decades of isolation, a flood of tourists meant to lift the fortunes of Cubans long marooned on the outskirts of modern prosperity. But the record arrival of nearly 3.5 million visitors to Cuba last year has caused a surging demand for food. Tourists are quite literally eating Cuba’s lunch. Thanks in part to the United States embargo, but also to poor planning by the island’s government, goods that Cubans have long relied on are going to well-heeled tourists and the hundreds of private restaurants that cater to them, leading to soaring prices and empty shelves – Havana, Cuba.
The American Soap Opera, "The Guiding Light" ended Friday after a 72 year run. I, who have no time to watch the soaps, watched it many years ago and can't believe it has ended. Guess they had to make time for more reality TV. ^¿^
Once December hits, it kind of feels like we’re on the fast train to Christmas Day! It always seems to sneak up on us and it’s a little frantic making sure we have just the right gifts for our nearest and dearest.

A tour guide with a group of Swedish visitors at the Rosendal palace. She asked a question about an historical event that took place here, and one of the people in the group knew all about it. So I will tell it anyway to the rest of you, said the tour guide. That was all I could hear as I decided to shoot a ten photo panorama of the group and parts of the palace turned museum.
