I've been travelling around the highlands a fair bit recently. These pictures are from Glencoe which is a large valley (famous for it scenery and a massacre that occured here about 300 years ago) about 20 miles South of my hometown Fort William.Glencoe means "Valley of Weeping" and today is almost unihabited (though a famous British TV presenter Jimmy Savile lives there). The Aonach Eagach is a ridge along the tops of the mountains on one side of Glencoe. Luckily we got really good weather for climbing.

Dunhuang Gansu Province
|
|
A guide in Dunhuang told me it only rains three times a year in Dunhuang.
It rained twice when I was there!
Still it was really beautiful out in the desert.

Chinese Propaganda Park near Juizhaighou
|
|
|
The town close to Juzhaighou airport was an important stop on the communsit party's Long March. To commemerate that there is a park of communist propaganda statues at the end of the town. Looks a bit incongrous amongst the monutanins, flags and temples. I was there on children's day so you can see lots of families taking picnics around the statues.
