"Paradise on Earth," Jiouzhaigou of Sichuan, China.
A nest of colorful ponds...:
Sky, mountains, trees, and ponds...:
``Sleeping beauty'':
A temple in heaven:
Creatures in paradise:
The cycle of life and death...:
A mirror for the mountain:
The "peacock" pond...:
The "pearl" shoal.
What the shoal eventually becomes...:
Waterfalls...:
The "mirror" lake... Since there was wind when this photo was taken, you have to imagine what it is like without...:
Light from the sky.
The legendary "grandpa" tree.
Water blue...:
Water white...:
The "tiger" lake:
Wild flowers:
Trees in water:
More trees in water:
We came up from this road (4000 meters above sea level):
A curtain of rocks:
"Lake of god":
Impressionists would love this place:
More of the "lake of god" - this is what water actually looks like when it is not polluted.
Hence, more unpolluted water...
