Photo Challenge


I cannot resist a good challenge. I located a photo file of my trip to China, and the fourth album was from the city of X'ian, just a bit south southwest of Beijing. I went there to see the Terracotta Warriors underground, but as you can see from photo #4, there was a lot more to enjoy in this most ancient of cities. This is the South Gate in the original city wall (well, maybe fixed up a bit as it is more than 3000 years old).

And is the photograph in your header the cabin of which you speak? :)What beautiful scenery.

Great photo - I am very relieved that your photo was not one showing any drunken divers exposing any or all parts of their bare anatomy. Perhaps they have all been deleted!?!

Very unfair! You got me all excited, so I checked all my files, and could not find a single naughty picture of divers. Wait a minute - they might be on my other laptop!

Ooh lovely photo. Glad there was no 'bits and bobs' (although secretly disappointed). Heh.

Moon: where? Cortes' bits and bobs? Ooer!

I try to keep my bits and bobs out of sight, but I do intend to scour my other laptop for diving photos. I know I have some of my trip to Scapa Flow, and there definitely were some drunken divers on that trip. Who knows, maybe another post, titled:
"Warning - Adult Content"?

I suspect you mean you wish to visit China, not my bits and bobs? If it is China - you will love it. If it is my bits and bobs, save yourself a trip, I'll bring them down in March.

Thanks Kate, I have been going through some of my photos of China, and I think I might just post a few later today.

I'll look forward to them - 'far away places with strange sounding names' - ah the old ones were sometimes the best!!
