PHOTO INSPIRATIONS

I love looking at beautiful photographs. They inspire me with new ideas; encourage me to learn new cultures, to travel as much as I can, and to never let go of that zest for life. They are what have partly inspired me to start this blog. Here in China, there is an abundance of photographic opportunities at every corner, always something new, something old, something interesting, something fascinating, or even something completely mind-boggling. I try to never go anywhere without my camera.

I’ve decided to share some favorite photographs from my camera (taken recently and over the last few years) around the cities of Hefei, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Hope they make you smile, or perhaps even give you a little inspiration.

I hope to share more photos every month with you as my journey continues, but this is my first collection so far. I always say my favorite pictures are those that capture nature, energy and life.

    1. I had a great time too Cats! :) You definitely have to come back here again someday. China is so big. We can explore the other cities! :) Or we can take a trip elsewhere with the girls. Let's plan it one day soon!
