The first rock is like a downfallen ancient men's shoe. So it is called that Man Shoe Rock in Basking.
The second top rock is like a pair of ancient women's shoe. So it is called that Woman Shoe Rock in Basking.

My God, what beautiful landscapes. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Those mountains must get a lot of rain/snow/fog to provide enough moisture for the trees on the rocks. Very beautiful.

This is awesome. Billy, what is the foundational rock of these mountainscapes? Granite? The eroded surfaces just seem so...well, eroded...for something like granite.

wolf · 06-11-2005, 03:34 PM

You're used to relatively young granite, els. I forget all the numbers, but the upthrusts in China occurred way before the Rockies.

Of course, the Chinese rock could be basalt or something like that.

I love the lyrical nature of the names given to these features. In America, our names don't mean shit.

You are right. The rocks are grantie.
I never thought you all liked these pictures. I took these photos for you. But my colleagues say what I took are trash. I feel strange. I just want to record what I see. Must I take the portrait pictures? I think my trip is not certify that I come there, but what I see and get. So I try to take the landscape pictures.

Happy Monkey · 06-12-2005, 12:13 PM

I like landscape photos much more than portraits.

Your landscapes are beautiful Billy - keep up the good work.

wolf · 06-12-2005, 05:20 PM

There are different reasons to take pictures, Billy. Some to show that you were at a place, and also pictures with and of your friends on the trip, are certainly fine ... but many of the best memories of a trip is of what you saw there. By taking these pictures you have memories of them, and you are also allowing us to see what you thought to be beautiful or interesting or even funny.

I like your pictures just fine!!

Oriental tourists, particularly the Japs, take millions of pictures of themselves and their travel companions in front of attractions worldwide. I've seen them set up a tripod and set the camera timer then run around in front and pose, countless times, if traveling alone. I guess it's a cultural tradition.

I've taken thousands of pictures of scenery and man made attractions with no people in them. Often I had to work at it and be very patient but I think it's worth it. Your pictures are great, Billy!
