My Christmas lights were cheaper than yours… but will probably kill me.

I met up with Winfred again, this time he brought the ‘boss’ of his photo society and a few chicks from his school to act as models. We headed roughly to the same place as last time, although this time much later in the day. We decided we’d try get some sunset shots. The weather was less than perfect in terms of visibility and it was cold as well. This made our relentless march up into the hills less than enjoyable for our dainty model friends, but… in the end, certainly got some good photos out of it…
Weinan Walkaround

This is Winfred, my new photography brother-in-arms. We originally met at the swimming pool about 4 months ago. We didn’t really keep in touch, but then he found me on flickr! We realised we share a common passion for photography, so we decided to meet up and go on a photo walkabout together. We started in Weinan, and then headed south for what would turn out to be a 20km hike, but some great photos came out of it…
Random Snap>> It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Christmas here isn’t much like Christmas. It’s December already and it doesn’t feel special. This will be my first Christmas in 23 years that I haven’t spent with my family. Anyway, instead of mope and despair; I threw up a Christmas tree, and slapped on some fairy lights. More soon. 🙂
“Random Snap” is a new category/feature on the blog for when I just have one thing I want to share, and doesn’t quite merit it’s own blog post. The quality of the photography may also be lacking and even from *gasp* a camera-phone!
No, there isn’t some strange Chinese fruit that has a remarkable resemblance to a ten pound note; that was put there so you could get an idea of scale. That GIANT-apple looking thing is actually a pear, and that big ol’ ugly-shaped round thing next to it is the Queen’s head. Oh, and on the right there’s a “Chinese Grapefruit” or as it’s properly called, a Pomelo….
