China 2008

Ping-an. We watched the spectacle rather than being the spectacle.




The bambo river rafts.




We flew out at 6.00am. It was just on dawn. Yangshou.

Ping-an village.



The cormorant fisher.


The terraces covered the entire valley. This rice has been cut and is drying before being hand threshed.


The rice harvest was in full swing. This guy has his knife in the cane basket.


Ping-an village has no road access. Walk or be carried. We walked.


No tourists here at all. Long-ji village.


No machines whatsoever

500 year old terraces. Loking across to Long-ji.
Rice Terraces at Ping-an.

The Desert Fox - White Desert - Egypt

We camped under the stars. During our meal time (11.00pm!) the fox came creeping
into the camp and snatched away the chicken bones.
