Scotland in Snow

SCOTLAND and all of the British Isles covered in snow due to the Northernly winds sweeping down from the Arctic to deep freeze the lands. Winter Records set worldwide from China, Japan, Korea and North Europe heading into dark winter nights. Shine the lights from the home hearth and welcome home the weary traveller from faraway lands.

Shangrila, Yunnan, China

PORTRAIT of a lady, who sits in the audience alongside me watching the Tibetan show below. She is under ten feet away from me so I think I have the 180mm lens on. It's pitch black of course around us, and her face is lit from the stage lights. I like this photograph caught in the moment. Intimate & intriguing. Humankind.me

Shangrila, Yunnan, China

GAZE upon colourful costumes and surrender to hypnotizing melodies with an overwhelming spiritual intoxication when you release yourself to the possibilities of the Universal energies swirling around us. Powerful huh? This show was enjoyed by many people on a daily basis, tourists from all across China. Tomorrow I will upload a portrait of a fellow audience member as she watched the show alongside me.....

Litang, Sichuan, China

PRELUDE to the second shot posted yesterday, you can see the gorgeous costume of the girl.

These shots deliver what is most fun about documentary photography, the surprises or situations that develop as you turn a street corner, walk through an open door, visit a new land. Life is full of potential. Live it as so and blessed to do so.

Litang, Sichuan, China

ON the way to school. 3 girls head to class in Litang, Sichuan Province. The shot prior to this action I will upload tomorrow, together they make a good duo combination. This was filmed with the 24mm lens and I had to move fast to try and capture the action with the love-heart background, before the girls walked past it.
