Bison statue at Buffalo Trace. There's a very specific reason why we're here today, and in fact the whole trip was planned because of this: we're part of a group that selected a barrel of bourbon today. I'll talk more about that in later pictures, because it's important, and pretty powerful stuff. Before we get to the actual barrel pick, though, we got an absolutely spectacular tour from Freddy, whose father and grandfather both worked here and he's kind of a legend. There's a wall of pictures of his family through the years in the gift shop.

Couple on the banks of the Yellow River. In 1997, the Yellow river symbolised all that was wrong with China's environment: 40% of its waters were severely polluted. The river was so overexploited that it failed to reach the sea for 226 days a year making the prospect of terminal dormancy a realistic possibility. Since then, however, the flow has been unbroken, and in 2010 the ailing river became an award-winning model when the Yellow River Conservancy Commission won the Lee Kwan Yu Water prize in Singapore. But there is still a long way to go before the Yellow river is off life-support. Demand for water in northern China continues to grow faster than efficiency gains. As a result, environmental pressure has shifted from the Yellow river to its tributaries – which are increasingly polluted – and underground aquifers, which are diminishing at an alarming rate.
