Dragon Boats of Commoners on a Lonely Stream near Hangzhou

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

On the weekend while in Shanghai, I was in the mood for an adventure, so I went down to the train station to buy a ticket to Hangzhou. This was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty in the 12th century and it was in the middle of the Yangtze river delta. The royalty established a number of temples around West Lake, the dozens of tiny freshwater lakes that were created for the emperor.

As I explored around, there were many beautiful things to be seen. Here is one of many more I have to bring you.
