China 2014. The very last of glorious, pristine Juizhaigou gorge. Yes, there’s even blue sky up here. A beautiful reflection of the surrounding mountains and forest. See on the right, the green-blue tinge of the fantastically clear lake waters.

China 2014. More of the clear, clear waters of Juizhaigou Gorge. You can estimate the depth from the shadows of these entire trees that have fallen into the water.

China 2014. I reckon this is a clear “cheat”. Buddhist prayer wheels being turned by water on a stream in Juizhaigou Gorge. Must be one of the earliest forms of Prayer-o-mat.

China 2014. Another great image in Juizhaigou National Park. This shows how (relatively dry) it was in early spring, the mountains lurking in the background and how clear and deep is the water in this little lake. See the refraction bends on the part-submerged tree trunks.

China 2014. An interesting way to preserve the forest agains the onslaught of tourists. At Juizhaigou National Park. There’s just the tiniest glimpse of the clear, clear water off to the left.
