As for selling pictures… I’d love too! I’m looking into it actually. Thanks for your encouragements!

@Annie — This is one thing I’m always confused with in India. AS you said, there are several regions and each has its history, culture, language maybe. China, probably because of the politics, is very much centered on Beijing and is much more East — West. I guess in India I have to look at each region individually. Not sure if I’m clear, I’m sleepy, sorry!

@Eric “Speedcat Hollydale” — Thank you!

There are many such places in India India basically has 4 region (as in other countries) East India, West India, South India and North India Every region has history attached to it so wheresoever’s you go in India; you will find atleast one such monument. That’s why do plan a visit to India

Take care,

This whole series of your trip to China is a well documented eyewitness account of developments with snippets of history and personal experience that’s beautifully merged and blended. I’m inclined to believe these can fit into a documentary for National Geographic or the Living Asia Channel.

Maybe you should look towards this aspect whenever you travel — you may be able to replenish some of the amounts you spent for the trip. And, when you have made a name for yourself in like tasks, you can get your entire vacation for free!:-)

Tiananmen Square is indeed dedicated to Mao’s glory. But at the Olympic sites, especially the Bird’s Nest, his memory was practically ignored. I’m not sure if it was meant as a dedication to the people or to the current party rulers — or it could be the beginning of relegating Mao to the past so that the country can move on to exert better and more positive influence among the community of nations.

Whatever it is, China has progressed by leaps and bounds in a lot of areas and should be viewed in that context with a lot of respect. They have also done a tremendous job during the Olympics that made almost all of Asia proud to be Asian. Excellent series with very sharp and beautiful photos. –Durano, done!

@Annie — Is there a similar place in India? Just curious… Like a key site for historical events?

@Max Coutinho — De rien! I just love taking pics

@Seraphine — I love pretty much all movements. Especially after sitting in a bus/ plane for hours
