No polluted dream place
 

It is in the southwest China. It has not been developed. Welcome to see.

Keep silence
 

The place is so silent that we should not speak.

Good countryside

I dream to live there

Do you like it?

The people are poor but their life are rich.

Good, great...

There are places in the USA like this, Billy. The problem is places that look like that have no jobs so you have to have money.;)

It is right to travel
 

I would go to see if I have free time to rest one day. It is difficult to balance the life and money.

Now there is a Cellar Classic.:thumb:

Ask Dave . . . he has it all figured out.

Naw, if he had it all figured out he'd live somewhere cool like...Arkansas.:D

He lived in the backwoods of Maryland...close enough.

Awesome pictures, Billy. I especially like the first one. One question though, have they been edited in any way? The colors are so vibrant, it almost makes me ask if the saturation of the colors has been increased artificially.

Yeah, you should hear the number of people in the US that complain about wanting to live the simple life, and can't figure out where their time went as their leashes ^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcell phones and pagers go off. Money for life is a poor trade.

add:
Kind of looks like the Cascade mountains/Eastern Washington. Washington is the state. Washington D.C. is the city. Damn East-Coasties! :)

Can someone tell me what this means. I've seen it several times and haven't been able to decifer its meaning from context. :confused:

It means "I'm backspacing over what I've just typed." The fact that you can still see the words originally typed is part of its subtle ironic use.

It's a part of net culture now, but it actually originated with old teletype terminals. These ancient terminals would actually print, in dot-matrix on paper, as you sat and typed at the keyboard attached to it. But it couldn't do backspacing properly, and so would just print the ASCII character control-H, which is otherwise known as BS or BackSpace.

Thanks, UT. That could be very useful to a smartass (sorry Ury) as a weapon of mock deletion.
Now if I could only decipher that snizzle, mizzle, drizzle crap, I'd be a hep cat.:D

I know; it's really lame of me. It's like using mock html tags [sarcasm]The RIAA would sue their own mothers, or pods, or whatever[/sarcasm].

Not at all, it's a great tool. I just wasn't up to speed. I've often wished that I could cross something out in emails or posts like I can in letters. Thanks for the tip.:beer:

<strike>Shizzle my hizouse.</strike> Oh, and I'd also like to know what -izzle and -izouse mean.

OK smartass. How'd you do dat?:eek:

Hit the shiny QUOTE button, in regards to the above post, and be amazed! Or, go here and learn a bit more.

Quzah.

Hmmm....those giggling, jiggling treasures.;)

MSIE req'd: <span style="float:right;filter:blur(strength=20) alpha(opacity=40);color:grey;font-size:15pt">I see live people.</span>

No problem there. That's what all the cool people use.....outamywaaaaaaay.........piter patter .....pitter patter....

The nature
 

It was taken by one people using digital camera. No any edition. I like it too.

I think you're wrong there, Billy. They look like they have been color enhanced/manipulated. The mountain is green but the reflection in the water is white. The purple on the cloud edges looks like the blue in the sky was enhanced and several other things. Of course I could be wrong because I'm assuming the camera is of good quality and it might not be.:)

Bee-Yoo-Tee-Full CHINA!
 

Dear Billy-

Those pictures of Southwestern China are stunning! Are you using any special devices and/or processes to achieve such
breathtaking colors? Also, what make and model camera do you use? If you are using some sort of special filters to achieve such splendid hues, I'd like to get some for my spectacles. Talk about your rose tinted glasses.:cool:

One thing sure seems to be missing in Southwestern China...Where are the roads? How can I truly appreciate such a place fully, if Christine and I can't see the colors blur at 100?

Oh, and are there any good Oldies/Rock-n-Roll stations there?
If yes on both roads/oldies, Christine and I can't wait to get
container-shipped to China real soon!
:D

Your pal, Fluffy

It is hard to get there
 

I tell you that the pix is taken by one traveler so he didn't edit them. I read magzine yesterday. The real screen is what he took. The road is so bad that we only find its beauty now. I will check the map for you if you want to come. Its name is DaoCheng(Meaning,planting rice palce. Rice City)

exellent pics billy! i'm starting to toy around w/my digital camera i can only hope to come across landscape as beautiful!

woman wave in YunNan
 

The old woman wave use the old way. Her clothes are made by that.

Hey Billy, how did you get that picture of warch ?:D
