| ASIA for TOURISTS: We will post our recent landscape pictures here: (We use little pocket cameras for these photos.) |


| 7/8/12 Chenshan Botanical Garden, Shanghai, China: Beautiful Conservatories! Very well done. The rest of the gardens are typically very manicured and nice enough. |

| 7/8/12 Sheshan National Forest Park, Shanghai: With a cathedral and an observatory on the summit and a temple below, there are cultural aspects to the park as well as the welcomed greenery. |

| 7/6/12 Xiao Dian Hu, a Forest Park near Tongli, China: Very pretty walks in a wilder setting (of course still cultivated to some degree.) Bikes available - park is quite extensive. |

| 7/6/12 Tongli, China: Tongli is an old Water Town near Suzhou with lots of shops, people, and character. The cormorants on the fishing boat are used for fishing. |
