B got some new shades, so I thought I’d teach her to throw up some gang signs and get her pout on. Myspace generation; respekk.
So, Dan McCarthy is out here at the moment, and doing his best to blend in… haha. Well, No, truth be told, we got invited for a meal for free if we agreed to have our photo taken with the owner.. the power of being foreign! So, Dan donned his white suit, and I grabbed my Hawaiian shirt.
Me and Dan on a mission to convince all Chinamen that this is how we dress in the west. 😉
We have one of those convex mirrors to see around corners in our apartment complex, so here’s B and D getting their pose on.
Some kids playing on a building site
We went off to Xi’an again for a few days. Here’s the belltower at night. 🙂
I like this shot of B, just a shame about the lens flare creeping in.
The streets stayed busy late into the night
It really is beautiful at night 🙂
Tim cheated and bought his tripod along. 😛 Luckily the IS on the new lens is awesome. 🙂
Found a good way to take mine and B’s photo with the bell tower :p
Little B with the big B as the background 🙂
This is the shopping mall / subway under the belltower.
One of the buildings around the bell tower
The drum tower in all its glory
There was an IS chilling next to the drum tower. One of the first IS’s I’ve seen out here. 🙂
Then we went to the Stele Forest. It’s basically a museum of lots of ancient writings carved into stone. Here’s B reading about….something.
A shot of the top of one of the stones
They then make rubbings of some of the carvings for people to buy. They throw some paper up over the carving..
Then use a brush to fill the indents.
Then hammer it down to crisp up the edges.
And the come out looking something like this.
The red ones were purrrrdy. <3
A nice detail shot 🙂
The kind of slab that filled the hall. 🙂
This one is worth seeing full size. I love the texture of the stone.
They also had a collection of things you tie your horse to.

More photos soon I hope! 🙂
