the Chengzihe system, all the trains were where I wasn't, as
usual. |

| A
shot from the bus window. Cripes. Pitiful haul. Loads of shots,
just no trains when I needed them |

0377 departing the famous pink mine at Pinggang I should have
followed Bernd around as I always seem to be in the wrong place
at the wrong time at Jixi, a railway that has never really
grabbed me anyway. I decide to take the next day off. |

and I head past an old prison to this frozen streambed and
manage to pop off a rare shot that could almost be described as
scenic. |
