A Repost - Today is the "Dragon Boat Festival Day, 2022. This is the food we eat in memory of such officer (read the background story below). You know, this holiday falls on a different day each year. That's why I totally forgot about it, but, I'll make it one of these days when I'm in the mood. It's a lot of work. My family love it. I taught myself to make them when I first came to the US, and craving for them. My zongzi is quite delicious, has got rave review. :-))

"Many believe that the Dragon Boat Festival originated in ancient China based on the suicide of the poet and statesman of the Chu kingdom, Qu Yuan in 278 BCE.
The festival commemorates the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar Qu Yuan, who was a loyal minister of the King of Chu in the third century BCE. Qu Yuan’s wisdom and intellectual ways antagonized other court officials, thus they accused him of false charges of conspiracy and was exiled by the king. During his exile, Qu Yuan composed many poems to express his anger and sorrow towards his sovereign and people.
Qu Yuan drowned himself by attaching a heavy stone to his chest and jumping into the Miluo River in 278 BCE at the age of 61. The people of Chu tried to save him believing that Qu Yuan was an honorable man; they searched desperately in their boats looking for Qu Yuan but were unable to save him. Every year the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to commemorate this attempt at rescuing Qu Yuan.
The local people began the tradition of throwing sacrificial cooked rice into the river for Qu Yuan, while others believed that the rice would prevent the fishes in the river from eating Qu Yuan’s body. At first, the locals decided to make zongzi in hopes that it would sink into the river and reach Qu Yuan's body. However, the tradition of wrapping the rice in bamboo leaves to make zongzi began the following year."
Ripubblico una foto di qualche mese fa, il titolo nasce dal fatto che oltre a essere ripostata e stata anche post prodotta nuovamente partendo da zero. Trattasi di 12 scatti verticali uniti prima su lightroom e poi lavorati su photoshop e nik, con questa lavorazione ho cercato di mantenere la foto piĂą fedele il possibile alla realtĂ diminuendo le dominanti sature del precedente scatto a scapito di un maggior rumore digitale

I have been working on this picture to try to resize it, so this is a repost although a new crop. I have also straightened the image, which I can't believe I missed in the first place. If you have seen it before in it's original size, ( almost square) you can see the stuggle I am having with the composition. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Repost for new gallery page (www.lifeafterdeathstudios.com)! Also, you can now follow on 500px, as well! :) Thanks for all of the views, support, and the great community all these years on Flickr! Hope it continues! Have a wonderful new year in 2019! :)

Just got back from our last camping/photography trip of the late summer season. It snowed on us! I'll be trying to catch up today on all the great photos from my friends and family! :)
I just got a new landscape lens for my birthday, a Canon, of course. :) We went to Mono Lake basin to try it out. I love this shot because of all of the textures and colors. The white "tufas" sticking out of the water make for great contrast and objects of interest.
Mono Lake is a very special lake, with a very unique ecology. Native American Indians called this place home, and utilized the brine shrimp that thrive in the salty mineral water. Mono Lake is ringed by ancient cinder cones (volcanic cores) and natural hot springs. Learn more about unique Mono Lake here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_Lake
