Fantastic Randy. It always amazes me the beauty of China. I would love to visit some of those places but the wife is to fickle for that and now I am getting to old and a lot of them are inaccessible to me.

Me, too (LOL) - although I'm still hoping to improve enough to be able to take overnight trips again.

Sometimes it's best to just sit back and take pictures of everyone ELSE taking pictures.

I liked the one of the 19-year-old boy saving 14 people in an apartment building using a crane. You remember a loooong time ago the argument that I had with the Sweed about concrete buildings burning? It is not the building it's the contents. All the people above die of smoke inhalation but you don't see much of that in the news.

The "contents" can include a lot of accumulated coal dust which is definitely flammable. As I remember, he had an apartment immediately beneath him go up in flames.
