This photographic journey highlights a tour taken to China, March 8 - 26 2009.



While beautiful on the one hand with an amazing history, it is also a strange and complex country that struggles within itself and ignores (or fails to understand) the impact of decisions on its own people and the environment in which they live.



I love a sense of adventure, and as with the many other countries ventured to, I visited China with no preconceptions. This journey was nothing like anything else I had ever experienced. I walked away having witnessed many incredible sights, a new definition of 'huge', a few new friends, and an appreciation of the clean air I breathe.



I suggest everyone should, (if they can) visit China with eyes and ears open. Remember though, not to drink the water, and be careful who and what you point your camera at.
