More pictures
Welcome once again to the fabulous world of Xining photos. I was very happy to hear from Elizabeth, apparently she is having more of a vacation than I am, but mine starts next week ;p. Anyway in honor of her photographic skills, here are a few more of mine...I hope you don't think they are too amateurish.
This is looking out the window of my apartment...whenever it isn't raining this is what you see during the day...
...and this is what it looks like in the morning.
The next 2 pics are great, this is the china i see everyday. i don't live in a tourist town...99% of the westerners here are english teachers or missionaries or both. there is a quick acid test to tell, you say hello. if they are friendly they are tourists or teachers or perhaps the occasional businessman...if they give you the cold shoulder they are missionaries. some may think I am exagerating or making something up but you don't live here, and I do so you'll have to take my world on it. Trust me I wouldn't joke about such things.
Anyway back to the photos...
This is on our street. The lady in the foreground cleaned our bathroom when we moved into our apartment, and she is really sweet. I always say hello to her.
Although this picture has been reduced in size there is a naked assed baby which still may be visable. This is something that may either repulse or humor you, that here the diaper has been exchanged for a hole in the pants...fortunetly only for babies.
Can you guess what this picture is about?
My amateur artishtic attempts...this is our kitchen
These pics are from a hotel I stayed in a few weeks ago...if you look at the night pictures from my last post you will notice that they are the same shots taken at different times.
Looking down at the People's Park.
Here are a few left over shots from the Tibetan Museum we visited.
This may be too dark to see, but his eyes were glowing in a very spooky way. The painting is of the Indian Mahasiddha Saraha.
Hope you enjoy, please keep in touch

No doubt it's sidewalk poetry. Each sunrise brings to the streets views of hundreds of early morning verses. Mysterious in origin, fleeting examples of impermanent beauty. Written by unseen, unknown apparitions that come in the night and fade with the dawn leaving only these tracks. Tracks that weave their way into the consciousness of the neighborhood.
Dumb Jonathan!!!
Your picture are fuckin brilliant (pardon my hebrew!!) It is amazing. I was thinking that I too should take more pictures of everyday things. You start to take them forgranted. But they are beautiful and exotic AND artistic.
I love the baby butt. Very cool.
Love ya,

Wonderful pictures. I have really enjoyed what you posted of your trip. I almost feel like I was there myself. Thanks!
