The main PAW is my favorite. The mountains in the background look very
Asian to me (like those in Chinese paintings). PAW 12.6 seems to be
tilted to one side by about 3 degrees.

Here are six photos for wk 12.(last week, wk 13 will be ready soon, too)
Taken during my weeklong hike/boat trip down the three gorges area in
China. A historical note is that all these photos are of areas that will
be underwater next year when the largest dam in the world is
finished....



This farmer we met on the trail and ended up staying the night in his
home. His family was in another province preparing their new home.
needless to say he is poor and the 30,000 CNY that the central governmet
has promised for his relocation has been wittled down to about 3-4,000
CNY (less than 500$USD) by the local government, and that's if he ever
receives it. I was surprised to find out that many in his area are
Catholics! http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=667206


This is the view from our boat as we tool on down the small three
gorges. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=667213

This guy looks to me like he's packed everything and waiting for the
next boat. The buildings above him are condemed and will be covered in
water in the coming years.

this shot is from an ancient town up the small three gorges river.

the last two shots are street shots from a whole town which will move
across the river and up a mountain soon
