I'm flying with who?


Had tickets with another airline that fell through. Rushed the night before to a different city to catch this plane as all the other ones were booked...This is how the trip to southern Yunnan started.

Big dogs...AND knives, Museum.




Yes this was at the same museum! The only fun part of our trip back from the north.

Man, photo, mountain


Leaving the mountains we were escorted by the man with a white horse and a picture of him on the mountain in the background. The photo from the car window sums up a Chinese tour group, they only go anywhere for the photo. They could be standing on that mountain and the most important thing would be to get a picture standing on the mountain. The whole experience is making me rethink photography.

Ice Cave - Black Lake - Snow Mountains



The top of our climb. 5000+ feet, only up and down, no lingering at this altitude though I couldn't resist some wandering around Black Lake/Glacier. I had to go a bit in the cave (bottom picture:). This high is like stumbling around, you know when your drunk but are convinced your NOT drunk? Getting dark as we took a long time, found new paths back to base camp...
