TRAVEL:CHONGMING ISLAND 崇明岛 wetland park

simple day trip via bus/boat or car from shanghai
Dong Tan Migratory Bird Protection Area






one a bicycle made for two






the cycle of life and death; slowly loosing vibrancy but still raising their golden heads to the sun, the giver of life, of light, of hope, of heat 







beauty of nature in the water midst the rushes
not a sole around, so peaceful so free, to discover nature in its one, to appreciate the reeds, the grass, the coming autumn browns amidst the greens, the slow pursuit of the cycle of the coming harvest, a slower pace here, in contrast to the forever daily bustle of Shanghai, the most populated city in the world, 
and over the bridge hidden by the skyscrapers, the smog, the masses, this island, a haven, forgotten to most, but relished by all who visit












 sometimes we just need to stop, move away from the hustle, and take a minute to appreciate the life and beauty round us. it is everywhere, from the smallest detail to the large. ~god is in the detail. 
being to caught up in the everyday nonchalance routine of life van lead us to forget this. stop one second, give a penny to the poor, smell the flowers, take a walk in the park, get up to witness the unset, find a beach and walk barefoot, nature costs us nothing to appreciate its life, beauty and vitality, but is priceless, and our appreciation to it, if only for one second, is worth its weight in gold. 













hand sown, appreciated by who?










~among the fields of gold
