Photographs taken in the two parks, one stretching along the river, another originally a the private garden of a temple, later rebuilt into a public park according to the description of Wang Xizhi’s YanShan Yuan in accient books.
What puzzles me still is the accurate location of YanShan. Surely the mountain has disappeared long ago. So few accounts make me even double whether it did once exist. But that’s already out of question.

(P.S. I found it a great joy to peer the sky from the surface of a pond.)

Beautiful Clouds, which I beheld at break this morning. Seems that they come from the sea.
The park on the northern bank of the river. Photographed on 2010.07.22. To be continued:
Unfortunatey the last picture above has its up-left corner a little over-exposed, loosing many details, and I cannot adjust it back to normal.
I’ve been to YanShan Yuan to shoot pictures this morning. Disappointed that the original scene of a traditional Chinese garden is damaged by those mordern entertainment falicities for kids. Anyway I’ve got some excellent spots that satisfactorily fit for constructing the pisctures.
Updated Adobe Photoshop CS4 to CS5 this morning, but… my goodness, I can’t save my work with it!
The following photographs were taken yesterday. I was planning to create a collection of pictures mainly focused on a certain kind of herb, whose name I cannot figure out yet (although it frequently appears in the neighbourhood). But the original photographs are so many, but my spare time is limited. Here I’ve processed only two of them. And the others are waiting to follow up.

Complete.
LouDong, as the location is called, originally got its named from the river Lou. But the river has disappeared so long ago that every bit of fact related to it seems to fade into a sense of tale nowadays. What in these photographs is the main river that flows aross the south of the town, dug out by the genertion of our grandparents in their youth, in the purpose of transportation, and it receives the same name as the ancient river.
