Dad and his photos

Dad mailed me some photos he took in hometown Shihezi.
After a busy day at school, he always took his digital camera wandering about taking photos in our small town.

He uses this picture to teach me that backlighting sometimes makes the object much more real in a photo.

This picture was took on a hill on the border of Shihezi and Manas.

The sunset view of the economic development zone.

I don't know when this photo was took. It is the most beautiful one I've ever seen.

Flowers, Green Trees and the relaxed cadence of life at Shihezi City.

The following two photos were took a week ago.

The spring is coming, it always comes late in Xinjiang.

The character in the picture is prounced (xi). It is only used in traditional Chinese wedding ceremony.
It means happiness. The photo was tooken from one of the odalisques' bed room.


The picture shows you the whole sight of the Forbidden City. The white line in the middle of the picture is call the axle line.
It symbolizes the back bone of a Chinese Dragon. If some one "break" it, the country will destruction. (There are many legends)


This is the most interesting treasure I saw. This wrought clock was made by Timothy Williamson for Ting dynasty.
The robot can writes 8 characters "八方向化，九土来王". Unfortunately I had no chance to see how it worked.

The Forbidden City 1

I haven't upgraded my blog for months, durning the winter vocation I went back to my hometown I haven't seen my mam and Dad nearly a year.
A Princeton girl went to Shi hezi University to teach English, she named my hometown an English name : Rockriverton, it dilievers the Chinese name perfectly. Rock=Shi, river=hezi, ton=town. A small town located at the Foot of Tianshan Mountain .
Happiness time always short, I returned to University to finish my last term in it.
I went to Forbidden City again.

This photo was token before the Tianan meng.


This building is Tai he dian. The emperor dealt the fairs of country.


The the Eight Power Allied Force stolen many treasures from the Forbidden city, they scraped the gold from this jar which was gilded.
