Mosuo Minority Woman - From wikipedia: Known to many as the 'Kingdom of Women,' the Mosuo (Chinese: 摩梭; pinyin: Mósuō), are a small ethnic group living in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces in China, close to the border with Tibet. A population of about 50,000 the Mosuo are found near Lugu Lake in the Tibetan Himalayas.

The Mosuo people are known as the 'Kingdom of Women' because The Na are a matrilineal society: heterosexual activity occurs only by mutual consent and mostly through the custom of the secret nocturnal "visit"; men and women are free to have multiple partners and to initiate or break off relationships when they please.
Pagoda Wall - Baotong Buddhist Temple
Tri-Colour - Buildings in Macau are painted in a wide variety of colours.
Juxtapose - A replica of the wall of Chu Cheng juts into East Lake while a boat passes by. Chu Cheng was the ancient name for what is the Wuchang district of Wuhan. I chose selective colouring to emphasize the juxtaposition of the old wall and a modern boat.
Xia Yu Sanbu - A couple walk together along a street on a rainy night in Kunming, China. Xia Yu means rain and sanbu means stroll or walk in  mandarin.
Canal Candle Vendor - The city of Lijiang, in China's Yunnan province, has many waterways in the old town and at night people can purchase these candles to float down the canals. I shot this hand held with a 50mm f1.4 so please excuse the bit of blur. In spite of its flaws I find it has a strong emotional appeal so I have included it here.
Purple Meadow - A meadow full of purple flowers in Mongolia.
Mongolian Family
Smoke - A Mongolian horse guide smokes a cigarette rolled in a newspaper while sitting in front of an Ovoo, an animist spiritual site near Hovsgol Lake, Mongolia.
