near Lijiang, China, 2008.
A very old flute player (I assume it is a flute) performing as part of the Maxi Orchestra in the old town of Lijiang. Such a pleasure to hear this orchestra, although we were ushered in and out like we didn't really care to spend much time here. But we did. China, 2008
This was just outside of the Terracotta Warriors exhibit in Xian. Have to say the gloom and the smog didn't make Xian endear to me. I imagine this place is much more pleasant under better conditions. China, 2008.
