The skyline of Nanjing over Xuanwu Lake (玄武湖, xuanwuhu).

Another quick shot, during another stopover at Nanjing, this time on the return trip from Wuhu.

Shot from a small wooden jetty on the lake shore at Zhanqian Square, just outside the Nanjing Railway Station. As always it makes me rather sad what crazy location names the crappy flickr location database chooses.

This image is the result of some PP, though there already have been nice warm tones, I have increased the saturation of the red tones.

Nice architecture, I did like the curvatures in the roof and the steel structure.

Quick snap during a stopover on a business trip from Shanghai to Wuhu in Anhui. And once again the crappy flickr location database surprised me - though the photo is placed correctly, flickr names the location as "Nanjing Airport" - that's about 25 km away....

Well, now this is an older image. While browsing through my archives I found and liked this shot taken in spring 2001 (film, not digital).

This is the "Museum Area" of the Purple Mountain Observatory (Chinese: 紫金山天文台), also known as Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory, an astronomical observatory located on the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, China. The museum features a collection of ancient astronomical instruments.

Purple Mountain or Zijin Mountain (Chinese: 紫金山, Zĭjīn Shān, literally "Purple-Gold Mountain") is also known as Bell Mountain (Chinese: 钟山, Zhõng Shān), is located on the eastern side of Nanjing, and 447m high. Its peaks are often found enveloped in mysterious purple and golden clouds at dawn and dusk, hence its name "Purple Gold Mountain".

Taken on Kodak Ektachrome Elite 100 with my Nikon F4E, using a Sigma 28-70/2.8 AF ED @28mm. Digitized from a print.
