Stone

This is one of my favorite pictures that I took in China. I love the character of this old stone sculpture. This picture was taken on July 9th in Baisha village just outside of Lijiang. The village is populated by Naxi minority people and was formerly the capital of the Naxi kingdom. We had an outstanding time in this village. Some of our most unique sights and experiences on the trip happened during the couple of hours we spent here. This picture was captured as we were touring the Dabaoji Palace within the village. We saw some incredible unrestored frescoes that were over 500 years old (no pictures allowed). I'll post more pictures of our time in this village soon.
