Lovely Bones + Last of Travels

I promise this is the last set of travel photos. There were just too many so I couldn't really be bothered to sift through all of them.

But the first few here are photos of my favourite part of the trip. We visited the Dinosaur Valley in Yunnan Province, and whilst I wasn't particularly impressed by the fake dinosaurs on display around the park, I was completely and utterly blown away by the fossils and bones on display in the exhibition hall.

Apparently more dinosaur fossils have been found in this valley than anywhere else in the world, with hundreds still buried. Which is why they preserved the excavation site, which we also got to see. I stood on a fucking dinosaur excavation site!! Coolest experience ever. You can probably tell I'm a dinosaur enthusiast...
Enjoy the rest of the photos!

Inside the dinosaur exhibition hall// Excavation site//Fossils being prepared//Me next to dino pillars//Inside a lit-up cave//Climbing a mountain in complete fog//Yaks chillin'//Most beautiful water I have ever seen//Tamed eagle?//Lucky well//Animal demi-gods at a 'natural sacrificial site'//Little store selling furs//Gypsy cart!//Playing in the streets//Horse rides//Canal//Old Town tourist hotspot//Boats//Ornate traditional doorknob//Market stall//Beautiful view on an old town//And another one//Fountain//Misty mountains//A very expensive "tea biscuit"

All the places above are around Yunnan province, near Kunming. A very memorable trip I'd say. You can't tell but a lot of the time was spent in transit in a little mini-bus trekking to the most remote places- I had the bruises to show it! Stayed in a different hotel every night and saw so many things, so many experiences (both exhilarating and embarassing) and somehow; discovered so many things about myself. 

It turns out that when you're placed in a foreign, constantly changing and overwhelming environment where you are no-one, you learn a lot about yourself.

  3. Amazing photos.

    That's the best thing about trips isn't it? You always learn something new about yourself, it's as if you're not only embarking on a trip to discover the world, but to discover yourself also.

  10. ah i think what you have managed to do (what many travel photos do not do) is capture the natural character of a place and setting- i really feel like i'm actually there in the picture!
