Home Sweet Home

     I made it home!  I got into Greensboro last Wednesday night around 11:00.  It was a long journey home but nothing more than that.  No incidents to report other than being sandwiched between two elderly Chinese women with children in front and back of me.
     The first full day back my dad and brother took me out for a round of golf.  Needless to say they destroyed me.  I think thy both shot around an 80-85 where I shot upwards of 115.  However, it was a lot of fun.
     Last Saturday my mom hosted a little gathering where Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and their children came over for some burgers and hot-dogs.  That was a lot of fun!  It was really great getting to see everyone again, even if for just a short time.

Best of the Year

The following three photos are without a doubt my most favorite photos that I have taken while in China.  The first photo is of Yuntai Mountain.  

This was one of the first trips we went on as a faculty and definitely one of the better trips of the year.  There was a small rock bridge that you could walk over to get to some other trails and as I was walking over it, I noticed that the water was so perfectly still that it looked like a mirror.  I thought that it would make a cool picture and I was right.

The next picture is from Shanghai, China. This was during my Winter Vacation where

 my friend Joey and I traveled all over China.

We visited Harbin, Beijing, Huangshan, Suzhou and Shanghai.  Shanghai was by far the most 'western' city that we visited.This picture was taken at The Bund.  The skyline at night is one of the coolest views I've ever seen.  

Finally, this last picture is of a sunset in Suzhou, China.  Suzhou is a city that is famous for having canals all over the place and being praised as the "Venice of the East".  Well, it wasn't that great.  Sure it was cool, but it wasn't that cool.  Joey and I both agreed that this city was our least favorite of all of our trip.  But, That doesn't mean the picture is any less awesome.  This picture is my all-time favorite picture that I have taken up to this point in my life.  Who knows, maybe I'll end up taking something better in the future, but as of now, I think this is my best.

The End

In stead of attempting to revive my failed 'Chinese Travel' blog, where I posted -maybe- 3 or 4 times, I'm going to start up this blog.  With this I am not going to be focusing on my daily life in China like I had hoped to do in my previous blog, but focus on my photography.  I've got so many photos all with unique stories that I want friends and family to be able to know about.  So, from now on, I'll be trying to pick maybe one or two photos each week (whether I'm in China or back in the good 'ol USA) that I have taken and talk about them.  Hopefully (unlike last time) I will be able to keep up with this goal and actually make posts!
