Hear Him Roar

Zoo

:) The Tiger & Lion exhibit at the Tianjin Zoo (12th Largest in China! :P)

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!

Dragon Boats

Dragon Boat

 

I had the amazing opportunity to ride one of the famous dragon boats that floats across the man-made lake at the Beijing summer palace! So much fun!

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 🙂

 

 

Beijing Summer Palace

Summer Palace

One of 2 Summer Palaces in Beijing. It is built around a HUGE man-made lake. They took the dirt from the lake and used it to build the mountains around it. Then they built the palace on the mountains. It is a truly beautiful sight!

Temple of Heavenly Peace

Temple of Heavenly Peace, Beijing

I was there the same day the President of Pakistan was visiting so they had it closed off for about 15 minutes. Got some great pictures while the people were kept off of it. 🙂
