The degradation of Dafo is alarming
I was at Leshan in Jan 2007. The condition of Dafo (the Giant Buddha)when you were there 4 years later from your photos shows to it has degraded significantly in 4 years...that is scary.

I only read "and as with the rest of China incredibly clean and tidy", but I had to comment. I suppose you haven't seen rural China or smaller cities. The complete opposite of clean and tidy.

Hi, thanks for the compliment... They're all ran through various filters on Photoshop (CS5). Before that though a lot of the images are HDR images. The best way to familiarise yourself with this technique is to read and be inspired by this website www.stuckincustoms.com. Cheers, Mike

China!
Hi, My first trip out of my own country was to China, so it was nice to read and see some pictures from it again. Your photography by the way is really cool. It keeps catching my eye on all your blogs on the front page and I end up reading them, realizing after that it's the same person every time! Do you use photoshop to edit the colors or anything? Just wondering, because I just started a 6 week photoshop class. Keep the blogs coming!

Love the "we may have just arrived but we love it already" and the part about low expectation ... Funny how sometime it is when you expect the least that you get the most ! Really enjoyed your story and you got some really nice shoots, well done!

Well written blog. Sounds like you had a blast in Mongolia. Now, I was wondering what kind of camera are you using? Your photos are crisp.

We look forward to Mongolia
Loved your story and can't wait to visit Mongolia. You are right about long term travel taking a toll on your energy level. Sometimes you just need to sit and veg out for a couple of days. I've slept in a Yurt in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and look forward to doing it in Mongolia. Looking forward to reading about China.

Trip in Reverse
Hi there, We made a similar trip in reverse, September 2009, with our then 10 year old son. We had home stay B&B's in St. P and Moscow. So sorry to hear about your bad news hostel. I am looking forward to hearing of your experiences in Ulaan Baator and Mongolia. We spent a week there, in the city and at a Ger Camp. Not sure you'll be doing that at this time of year, but your children would love the horses!

So... It's been six years since we got back from our big family travels. A lot can happen in six years and the kids are growing at a pace that's completely overwhelming. We have 'settled' back into life in the UK, which for all its problems is an amazing country and we love it here. We've got back on track with our careers and the kids are progressing well with their schooling. As for travel, thankfully we still haven't stopped. Over the last few years we've been to a few more places in Europe, spent many weeks in Thailand and Malaysia, celebrated our 10 yea... full info
