Photos of China
A friend pointed out these pictures of the Chinese countryside to me, and I thought they might be appreciated here. I’m a sucker for the ones with reflections in the water, I have to say. It’s a tough choice, but I think the 14th one is my favorite. How about you?

As this article insightfully discusses, the fisherman normally fish during the dark hours of the night, but probably make more money by posing for photographers during the golden hours:
