Since I’m about to leave for Taiwan I thought I would finally upload some of the previous travel photosets that I had been meaning to post ever since I created the blog. Click each thumbnail for the corresponding gallery page.
While in Beijing I of course had the visit the Great Wall.
This is a set of photos I took of the outside of an abandoned Beijing Opera house I found in a sidestreet. The decaying hand-painted posters are great, I only wish I could have somehow taken them down and saved them from the inevitable demolition.
I wonder why people tends to picture bazaars and crowd in it, soviet buildings, etc… Almaty is a wanderfull city, bazaar is an ugly spot on it 🙁
Why didn’t you shoot mountains, broad streets, parks, people (not a lumpen at bazaar)? Huh? 😉
Well, to be honest I would have loved to take some photos of the mountains, but the weather was just awful the week I was there and with the fog I couldn’t get any good shots of the wonderful landscape that surrounds Almaty. We did drive up into the mountains, but I was more worried about the fact that our ‘taxi’ driver had no idea where he was going than about taking photos.
