There are a few locations in China that just scream - CHINA, and this, I think, is one of them. The rice terraces of southern Yunnan - Carved from the steep hillsides covering thousands of acres, the Hani minority have constructed a manmade wonder.

CHINA!!!!

First thought through my mind (having been born and raised Taiwan) was "Damned, that's a GREAT shot!"


Very , very nice. Almost surreal!!

The combination of the fog and the terraces make for a great shot. The almost-monochromatic nature adds nicely, too.

Great misty, atmospheric mood + an iconic location + the wide layout = a truly wonderful composition. It's a beautiful thing... :)
