Dancing fountains - Zhaoqing, China

Looking down from my room at the Pearl Hotel. I only stayed there one night... but apparently, the dancing fountain show happens every night. It was a beautiful view and the show was quite good. I could actually hear the music from my room (bad "sound proofing")... so I chose to embrace the show. What you don't see in this image is the giant television screen that's just to the right. I couldn't understand what the television was saying (it was in Chinese)... but when I woke up, I had the urge to start advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.

7 Star Lake.

This picture is of a beautiful lake in southern China. The name of the lake is actually called "7 Star Lake" (great tourist ploy by the Chinese government?)... it's in the Zhaoqing province. It makes you forget that you're in the heart of the biggest manufacturing zone in the world.

Sepia toned dream.

This is a lake in Zhaoqing, China. I tried to give this photograph a mixture of modern and retro. You can see vivid details of the white rock in foreground, but then I blurred out details in background... making it look a bit like an old painting. Anyways, I thought it came out pretty cool.

The Seven Star lake in Zhaoqing, China... very beautiful and serene. It's a nice break from the "hustle & bustle" of Dongguan and Guangzhou.
