Stunning Detian Falls straddle the China, Vietnam border shining with brilliant, jewel-like colour.   Consisting of several tiers of water that gush over its edges, the falls stretch more than 200 metres and are surrounded by beautiful limestone karsts.  Water flow varies throughout the year, however regardless of the season I am sure they maintain their simple magnificence.

Dragon River Reflections, Yangshuo, China

This is an image from one of my favorite places in the world – Yangshuo!

The limestone karsts and surrounding landscape are carpeted with lush green vegetation and rice fields during the warmer months.   Simply add a light mist and there you are living smack bang in the middle of one of those traditional Chinese paintings.

This particular day though was clear with sparkling blue skies lightly spotted with small puffy clouds.  The river was still enough to provide wonderful reflections with just a few ripples from a very light breeze on the right hand side.

For me the processing, which is on the way to being “infrared”, helps to highlight the features of this stunning landscape.
