Black Ballpen Only

Artist who only uses black ballpoint in drawing!

This one totally got the hell out of me.

Masterpiece drawn with black ballpen. We saw him seating in a side street of Sydney being busy with his work.

I wonder how long it took him to draw everything. Hmm.

Yunnan in Four Photos

I was not sure if this woman was just either thinking deeply or she knew she would be a perfect subject for photographers.

Photographers were drooling over the beauty of Red Land. Who didn't?

It was perfect. Just Perfect.

You know I always take wild flowers. Haha.

Amazing.

After almost half a year, here I am, still amazed by Yunnan’s beauty. I still feel that feeling I felt when I witnessed the Red Land with my own eyes. It felt like I was in another world seriously asking God if He really created this. I know that Philippines has the same kind of rice terraces (you should visit Banawe Rice Terraces!) But, Banawe Rice Terraces gives me a different feeling… a feeling of naturalness…tranquility… Red Land is vastly different. Red Land soothes innocence. Purity.

Both of them have their own kind of beauty and somehow I was held in…uhum…custody by Red Land.

Getting Into Small Alleys

October 21, 2012 of Dali Old Town, Yunnan

Dali Old Town is like the Las Casas in Bataan (but, Las Casas is a resort, fyi). It was old. It was ANCIENT. It felt historic. Everything is made of stones. People were so quiet. Everyone was busy doing their own thing.

Small alleys let you walk around the town like you’re in a labyrinth. Each alley is different from the others. One alley is a series of ice cream stores. We got held back by an alley full of accessories! There is also an alley for pottery. I mean, I know I didn’t went in each alley but if you’re going to visit Dali Old Town, you should try going into these alleys as many as you can. Don’t just walk around the main street. Step in and explore these alleys! =)

 

Getting Lost And Found Something

October 21, 2012 of Dali Old Town

We were looking for our backpacker house. We had a map. We asked the direction and landmarks before we headed to Dali. We read every street signage.

But somehow, we still got lost.

I do not know how but we did.

But I still think it was for the better.

If we weren’t looking around and hoping the backpacker house would just appear beside us, we wouldn’t realized that we were surrounded by mountains.
