Funeral

My father has passed away. He lived a full life, and at age 90, was relatively healthy. This was taken during the memorial service just before cremation.

Spinning prayers

I was at Kangding (康定), Szechuan when I chanced upon this group of elderly gentlemen and ladies spinning this column containing prayers, non stop, as an expression of their faith and prayer. What struck me was a granny was so infirm that she had required a walking stick, yet she was as diligent as any others..

From a local park

Marked my b day recently with a visit to the local park with a friend (Amos), to share breakfast, and a chance to take our photo gear out of storage.. Nothing fancy, just some simple scenes recorded.. 

 

Rainbow!

I saw this rainbow from the main streets, rushed to the fields, praying it won't fade away just yet, and was shocked to see it was a complete rainbow spanning both sides!

This is a stitched photo from 5 shots spanning from left to right.

Another series on Daocheng dusk

Having grown up in a concrete jungle that is home, I have not really had a great deal of experience taking lanscape kind of photos; however, Daocheng is so breathtakingly beautiful, when the light and weather conditions are right, landscape just came naturally! So enjoy, from a landscape rookie :-p

 

 

 

 

Lama Friendship

Some of my friends will notice that the bag in the picture below looked familiar! Yes, thats my Akha bag! I was out taking photos when I chanced upon a Tibetan boy, Dinda, who invited me to his house where I met his uncle, a lama. We had breakfast together, yak butter tea and Tsumpa, and I made up my mind to give my Akha bag to him as a token of appreciation. In return, he blessed me with a golden haddah around my neck.. I hope to return there sometime soon to give the the prints..
