Lilies in the Lake near Tianjin Municipal Museum!

Osaka Monument

Monument

Not sure what this monument stood for; but it was really cool to see. Stood right next to the Osaka Castle, and had a bunch of kids standing around doing chants that day.  NOt sure why (everyone else thought it was weird too–the Japanese people were giving them a wide berth), but they were hollering chants and what sounded like pig-calling noises (Suey…Suey).  You can see two of them at the bottom.

Resting Spot

Great Wall

Bridge along the Great Wall of China.  Well, not so much a bridge as a sitting area along the river where you take a break.  Really beautiful!

B&W Mountains

B&W Mountains

I was bored and playing with pictures of the mountains; tested out the B&W option on my camera and this resulted. I love the 3D effect Plus, I like how the small historical fort on top of the far right mountain stands out!

Lazy Panda

Lazy Panda

This panda was a very lazy panda. He took a little nap after eating his bamboo lunch 🙂 Great day at the Tianjin Zoo!

Oil Painting Artists (Modified)

Men in Oil Paint

I took the original and played around with it a little bit until it came out looking like this. I actually like it better than the original since it picks up on the rainy day theme.

Ancient Culture Street–Original

Two Men in Oil Paint

This is the original photo I took of two men on the Ancient Culture Street. They had painted themselves in black and gold and would pose for photos. It was really cool 🙂
