This was the lone survivor of several attempts at the Space Mountain Re-entry tunnel. Speed of the cars, dim lighting and the quickness of the effect all make it a tougher shot than I expected. I think I just got lucky :-)
At a temple on Bei Dajie in ancient Pingyao.
Pingyao is considered one of China's best-preserved ancient walled towns. (From my limited travels around China, I wholeheartedly concur.)
Pingyao's history goes back about 2,700 years. Located about 90 km (55 miles) south of Taiyuan in Shanxi (山西) province, modern-day Pingyao has around 450,000 residents. The ancient town, is enclosed within a stone wall, 10 meters (31 feet) high and slightly more than 6 kilometers (3.6 miles) with 6 gates: north, lower east, upper east, south, upper west, and lower west, that was built in 1370.
Within these walls live 50,000 people. Also to be found are a number of religious institutions including temples - the Confucian temple with the oldest surviving building in Pingyao (Dacheng Hall from 1163 A.D.), the Taoist City God Temple, Taoist Qingxu Guan (temple), and a Catholic church, among others.
Besides the various religious sites, there are museums to the banking industry such as the Rishengchang Museum. (The first draft bank in China was located here in Pingyao), a few art museums, and -- centrally located -- a city tower on Nan Dajie.
Pingyao also has many guesthouses (I chose Harmony Guesthouse on Nan Dajie near the south gate and highly recommend it to anyone who goes to Pingyao), restaurants (western and local Pingyao cuisine), teahouses, bars, massage parlors, and souvenir shops.
By day, the panoramic view of Pingyao is slightly reminiscent of the imperial city scenes at the beginning of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (perhaps with a creative imagination). As evening comes, the red lanterns begin to dominate the landscape. Alleys, doorways, the main roads, and courtyards all find themselves awash in a red glow.
In short, Pingyao has plenty to offer by day or night. These images are just a small reflection, through my eyes, of Pingyao's charms.
"They meet."
Yeah, these are my deadliest warriors. A living dead survivor of the apocalypse and a living survivor of the apocalypse. Sort of testing out my new camera, so kind of a mix of how the photos are taken.
These gold covers were UV printed onto white luminescent cloth and then mounted to screen board. The gold was matched to a PMS colour while the wine glass pattern was printed using clear ink embossing. The logo in the centre was solvent printed on vinyl, laminated and then cut using Print/Cut registration. It was then debossed using a die cut on the Roland engraver.
