TLG Photos II

Same batch of photos, separate blog entry. In addition to the lovely mint tea that the people running the guesthouse brought us, they also served up some great and inexpensive dinner. Chinese food is best eaten in a group, it's almost unheard of in China to order a meal just for yourself. Here's Pete and Daniel getting stuck into the eggplant and potato.



I just love this photo. We were a bit weary and dirty when we arrived at the guesthouse, but after a shower, this was the view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that greeted us from the courtyard. The glow from the late afternoon sun was so special, and we were so lucky that it lasted long enough for me to capture it. That white strip of snow on the top of the mountain is actually a glacier on the other side. 2km below, at the bottom of this enormous cliff is the Yangtze River.



I just love this picture too. Although as soon as I'd taken this one, everyone else got out their fancy SLRs and made me homesick for mine! I can't wait to see my Nikon again! There are so many times I've wished for it and then corrected myself straight away - There's no way I want to carry around that extra 2.5kg! The picture shows the courtyard at the guesthouse, and that's a wall of drying corn on the right.



The view from the stairs leading down to the toilet at about 7.30am the next day. I could go on putting photos like this up, but I'm sure you'd all be sick of them. This will have to do!




A rare photo of me while walking. It's a shame about the powerlines above! Yangtze River below.


That's all for now. Thanks for dropping in, and I hope you like the photos. I'd highly recommend Tiger Leaping Gorge, it was definitely the highlight in Yunnan for me.
