China - Guilin



Here are some photos from my trip to Guilin, China. Its scenery is reputed by many Chinese to be the "finest under heaven" and I must agree with them.
Please keep visiting and, if you wish, vote so I can share this gallery with more people. Furthermore, be so kind to post your feedback, as it will be taken in high regard.

Love yourwork, brilliant composition. Was that mist real - or pollution? Thanks for sharing your work, it is inspirational!

Olá conheci-o hoje. Fiquei de tal forma embevecida que não resistis e vim espreitar a sua galeria. Estou sem palavras. Que trabalhos maravilhosos. O que eu daria para ter assim só um pouquinho desta arte. Parabéns Joel pela galeria e pela exposição que efectuou esta noite na FNAC. Conseguiu prender a atenção de toda aquela gente que o escutava. Parabéns pela simpatia, simplicidade e conhecimentos que demonstrou ter. Adorei! Muito obrigada.
Cyrus Khamak26-Apr-2009 19:19
These are some great shot, many i really liked looking at -V-
Maria Santos 08-Apr-2009 21:56
Bem Joel eu nem sei o que dizer, de tal maneira as suas fotos são magníficas, que os adjectivos, para as classificar são insignificantes. Todo o que fotografa, capta-o de uma maneira genial. Sempre tive uma admiração enorme pelas suas fotos de paisagens, mas os retratos ou as macros são igualmente fantásticos.Desejar-lhe sucesso já está obsoleto, pois isso já o tem há muito, com mérito mais que merecido, por isso o que desejo é que nos vá presenteando com belas imagens como as que por aqui vi. Abraço Maria Santos

We just returned from Guilin and it really is as beautiful as your pictures portray. We especially loved the rice patties up in the mountains - The Dragons Backbone. I only wish our weather would have been more clear so we could have seen the mountains backdropped by a clear sky.
Dror Yalon17-Apr-2007 19:56
Another wonderful gallery, Joel. It's a pity you don't give names or numbers to the images, so people can relate specifically to a certain picture.

Stunning gallery. I really enjoyed looking at them - But they are way, way too small. Please post larger copies that do their beauty true justice. I can never understand why people go to all the trouble of spending a fortune on equipment and travel and then post postage stamps. These are pictures to be truly proud of. Thank you for sharing

I was in Guilin last year but didn't take any pix as good as these. Must get about at dawn/dusk in future.
