in the spirit of reminiscing… i went through my archives and started with the first stop after leafing my last place of residence. a 30-something train ride away from shanghai, china lies the city with the un-pronouncable (and nearly impossible to spell if you are dyslectic…) name zhangjiajie.

zhangjiajie, china (chinese: 湖南张家界国家森林公园)…. all photos by me

here you can see the first photos i posted of the home of the reeeeal avatar mountains! [from the archive:] did you also think that the incredible scenery in “avatar” was entirely created in the phantasy of uber-creative-movie-set-designer-minds? in that case…. like me….. you were wrong. but actually it makes sense that only mother nature can think of something this breathtakingly beautiful….. and she decided on zhangjiangjie, hunan province in china to display her creation.
