IAN'S PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY

YUNNAN - ODDS & ENDS

This gallery features the odds and ends of objects, things, close ups that somehow captures the culture and essence of Yunnan....at least that's what i think it does.

		This is a close up of rice stalks after the rice husks have been removed. Arranging in cones make transporting & burning (to regenerate the soil) easier.
		A static shot of a cart waiting to be loaded.
		Unattended claypots taken in Lijiang. The claypot rice is a simple concoction of chinese bacon and green peas with a dash of lard. Absolutely delicious. Goes with local pickles.
		Copperwares on sale in Dali. Also quite common in Lijiang.
		Dried chillies are almost a staple in Yunnan. Usually ground into powder form.
		These structures are made for drying. The large surface area enables quick drying. The height also makes it easy for the owner to keep an eye from the house. Used to dry anything under the sun....literally. Taken at Songzanlin Si in Zongdian.
		A close up of lalang flower. Taken at the rice fields near Erhai.
		Mostly herbs & tonic. Note the seahorses. Taken at the same market in Zhongdian.
		This is a close up of the dragon carving on an urn. Taken at the Bamboo Temple some 1hour from Kunming.
		Pots for sale; neatly stacked at a market in Zhongdian.
		One of those experimental shots that came out quite nice. Notice the shadow of the roof? Taken in Lijiang.
