Li River Scenic 0397

     Tens of thousands of karst mountains surround the Li River and its connected cities. The byproduct of millions of years of water erosion and weathering, these karst hills are among the oldest and most beautiful natural wonders in China. To produce an image with a strong visual impact and a sense of place for which the region is famous, I had to climb a nearby karst for a higher vantage point. It gave me the opportunity to capture the distant mountains that I would not have been able to get at river level.
