Acting as a minimalist and silent tour guide, lengths of black yarn were carefully suspended to direct guests along a route through the broken walls of a deserted series of tightly-packed structures in Beijing.

Crafted by reMIX Studio, the intervention was part of a pop-up restaurant experience in which the dinner space was placed at the end of a string of rooms in an abandoned building complex.

A modest wood-paneled path was constructed to thread the rubble and refuse of the structure, with parallel and intersecting spiderwebs of twine providing directional indications on the sides and above.

The direct trajectory was designed to take people through both interior and exterior spaces, small homes and their private courtyards. Bursting through walls, the journey exposes both the dwellings themselves and the materials of which they were made, giving visitors a unique perspective on the traditional dense Hutong neighborhoods of the city.

Of their work, the studio writes: “We propose a new connective path that reveals the existing building secrets and tunnelling throughout the architectural body it highlights in few observations points the quality and characteristics of the future intervention. The system of new portals is a succession of points of view that … forces the visitors into an unexpected journey; challenging [the] imagination.”

13 October, 2013 – Egypt – Along The Nile

13 Oct

Recent violence and unsettled politics in Egypt has turned one of the world’s most important and well visited historical areas into a tourism ghost town. Given the singular quality of the antiquities, curiosity about the culture, and the Egyptians’ centuries of economic reliance on tourism, the tour busses and cruise ships will inevitably return. 

Don Whitebread’s new travel article documents a recent photographic exploration of the Nile River.

Winter Walk Along the Poudre River in Fort Collins

11 Jan

All my local paddling waters are covered by ice. Even the Horsetooth Reservoir is partially frozen as seen in this recent picture of the Inlet Bay. So, it’s time for more hiking, biking and inline skating or driving to the South Platte River which is open and flowing.

Here is a little gallery of pictures shot during winter time along the Cache la Poudre River in Fort Collins. They came from favorite natural areas, Arapaho Bend and Riverbend Ponds or just from the Poudre biking trail.

These images are available for licensing as royalty free digital downloads starting with $ 2 directly from my stock photography portfolio. Recently, I started to sort my Colorado portfolio into several galleries. It should not be surprising that three of them are related to water:


Horsetooth

Horsetooth

Horsetooth Reservoir and Horsetooth Mountain Open Space near Fort Colorado – a great area for water sports, hiking, climbing, trail running, and mountain biking. It is my favorite local destination for kayak, canoe and SUP paddling.


Cache la Poudre River

Cache la Poudre River

Pictures from the Poudre Canyon as well as pictures of the river as seen from biking trails in Fort Collins and downriver all the way to Greeley and confluence with the South Platte River.

Water issues mostly in Colorado – river diversion, irrigation, ditches, water pollution. Many pictures in this gallery are shot from a kayaker perspective.

Along The Quiet Water by Paul Chong

A morning walk along the lakeside of HangZhou can be a wonderful and refreshing experience especially on a cool and beautiful day. It is surrounded by breathtaking scenery of emerald hills, woodland, rivers and colorful wildflowers while beautiful sounds of birds can be heard chirping by the tree top. Along the lakeshore, gentle wind blow against the willow trees creating a welcoming and pleasant environment for a leisure walk along the promenade. Many local folk likes to gather by the open spaces for daily exercise, chinese tai chi, fan dancing and socializing. While families would enjoy their day by taking their time out for a camp and picnic over the weekend to take a rest from their busy day. Visitors who enjoy tea can have a wonderful and relaxing time along the lakeside while sipping over a cup of local Chinese tea.

Along the quiet water, boats can be seen floating on the peaceful lake as if resting over a giant mirror of still reflection, projecting a calm and relaxing ambiance. There is an old saying by the chinese, “There is heaven above, Suzhou and HangZhou below”, it is a statement to declare the indescribable beauty that can only be found in HangZhou West Lake. Throughout the year and in every season, people could enjoy while appreciating the changing landscape and colors from spring to fall.

The lake itself is also characterized as a series of picturesque landscape to explore. It is divided by different causeway such as Su Ti, Bai Ti and YangGong Ti. Along the lakeshore, there are many pagodas, gardens, temples, sculpture and artificial island bearing some of the uniqueness Chinese culture since ancient history. This is also one reason which makes the West Lake a great place for many tourists to come and discover the beauty of its’ culture and heritage.
