China ... a few more

[Didache]

Hi guys .. another few images from my week in China.

The first is from the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai .. they have a Buddha made of Jade which is utterly exquisite - more than life size and carved from one piece of white jade. Unfortunately there is no photography permitted of it. This picture was in the courtyard outside where dozens and dozens of people lit incense and prayed. It was a bustling place.

The second, keeping to the jade theme, was a more technicallly difficult photograph to take - it is a jade carver at work. She was obviously very skilled.

The third is from the Great Wall - a section about 50 miles from Beijing.

That will do for today! Hope you enjoy!
