Another busy day. 3:30am start to get to Xianggong hill. This hill has an amazing overlook to the east over the Li river, so is a famous place for sunrises. So, we were assured, we needed to be there early to get good spots for photography. We were there well before dawn, and it was interesting to see the light change and develop over the next few hours. Unfortunately there was very little colour in the sunrise, but it was pretty nonetheless.

After that we were bussed to a small village where a farmer posed with cattle on an old stone arch bridge. I thought the farmer and beast were not too exciting, but it was interesting to watch the locals go about their daily work.

Afterwards, we drove on to the town of Yangsuo where our hotel was located. We had a couple of hours free to sleep/sightsee as the whim took us. As it was stinking hot I had a short circuit of the town (a thriving tourist town) before taking a shower and siesta. We then had a quick tour of the local market – lots if fascinating things for sale – one section included crates with what looked like cane toads in small mesh bags. Yum!

Our final activity for the day was photographing cormorant fisherman. Two ancient brothers with their cormorants and bamboo rafts had been enlisted for the evening and we spend a couple of hours taking photos of them into the gathering dusk.As usual, there are more photos in a gallery at:
