Remarks & Notes

All was absolutely still and overnight mists still lingered. At 0700 the sun was yet to rise in Jingpeng valley. A rising crescendo of sound from an unseen source was building until - finally, the reason we had traveled to this remote and wild place appeared. It was surely an apparition. Seasoned enthusiasts gasped, not because each breath was a sharp reminder of temperatures well below zero, but in sheer disbelief that this legendary place was not but a dream. This planet has had nothing finer to offer a beholder.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 85,122
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
