Question


I thoroughly enjoy this picture from my brother's 2nd grade English class. I'm not sure if its because of the silhouette of the student against he bright window or what but I just think that it is really cool. Contrary to what the picture shows, the classroom is properly lit and the room's apparent darkness is just a trick of the camera.
Also, visiting the class was one of the most enjoyable days of the trip for me since being in a classroom as an observer is something rarely experienced anywhere.

Waterfall


High up in the mountains in a few government protected tourist attractions, there still exists a little bit of real nature. Unlike most places in china we visited, there is actually wildlife like birds around here. One of the biggest things they were pointing out to us with all the signs around here is how clean the air is. Normally all these clean air signs would strike people like us as odd except for the fact that the air everywhere else is so dirty and polluted that
it really was noticeably cleaner here.

Chinese Garden


Oh yeah! I finally got the China pictures and now here is the first one. We visited this really elaborate garden while we were there and it provided quite a few nice pictures. I'll let you guys come up with your own thoughts on this one, I thought it was something enjoyable to look at.

One more View....


Sorry about posting another apartment view but I haven't gotten the chance to take many other pictures yet. Anyways, I feel this one is better then most of the other ones since it shows the entire wide angle view that I get from. This image is of a thunderstorm sweeping over Lexington sometime last week. This is what a "Severe Thunderstorm Warning" looks like for those of you who haven't seen to many of those. These clouds were putting out a lot of cool lightning and about 15 minutes after this picture was taken the rain had arrived at my apartment. Anyways, I should be getting more China pictures soon when I travel back to St. Louis to pick them up next week.

6 Views from my Apartment - Part 1

This is a 6 part series of as the title suggests, views from my apartment. I am up on the 19th floor looking SW out over Lexington and have recorded many sunsets. I give you now some of the best ones as well as other vies of the skyline. I have left out some of the Snowy pictures for now since they don't fit the format of this.
