CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND
CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND
A change of pace this weekend, Over the years I have posted the photos I took of my cruise down the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo in the Guangxi Autonomous Region of China, through the strange Karst Mountains, but my photos do not compare with those taken by Bob Nelson when he made that journey so he is now going to take you on that trip upon his river tourboat ship down the river through those unusual mountains. In his photos, unlike mine, you will see that the river is mostly smooth and reflective as a mirror, and the atmosphere is misty and dramatically mysterious.
But this is also the time for you all to post your photos or artworks, tell your stories, and just post whatever you like that you think others might appreciate.

And to show what I meant by mirror-like water... Okay, okay, it's just a LITTLE ripple.
That is a great series of photos. If I was ever to make another trip to China, which is unlikely, it would primarily be to Guilin to see that amazing scenery. We were in China for three weeks, but we had so much to do we were not able to fit that in.
You spent 3 weeks. What I learned in almost 20 years here is that even twenty years isn't enough time to see all the wonders of this Xanadu land.
I keep looking at this 10g shallow aquarium I've put in the living room. I have to build shelves on either side and over the top for pottery and plants before I get this setup. The ammonite fossil is real the velociraptor skull is printed. My sister also printed me a t-rex skull that I will be putting in a large rainforest terrarium.
They are so cute when they're asleep.
Won't the skulls scare the fish? Is your dog okay with the skulls? Give the doggie a bone, a skull bone.
It probably gives them places to hide.
He hasn't taken any notice of them.

Especially compared to Bob's misty images, yours make much use of colour. I'm particularly impessed by your view from the Summer Palace which could be mistaken for an ancient Chinese painting. However, my Temple of Heaven is quite different from yours.
A change of pace to keep the article in view - the entrance to a restaurant specializing in ribs.
Hickory dickory dock,the clock struck 10 o'clock - time to shut the door to another Creative Arts Weekend. Thanks to those very few who posted something, something necessary to keep A.Mac's only article alive while fate has him having to be elsewhere. Hope to be back next weekend.
