A Yangtze river photo taken when approaching another bend but not knowing what to expect! The new Three Gorges Dam will bring about a considerable change in
the scenes photographed at this time.

One cannot help but admire the artists and their determination in painting the Chinese characters at the bottom of these sheer cliff faces. Very soon, they will be just a memory as the waters of the Yangtze rise to cover them on completion of the new dam |
We continue our journey in the sunshine passing three or four small houses built
high up the riverbank. A Yangtze photo
from a boat can never be a substitute for a cruise through such memorable scenery. |
It was our turn to move out of the lock of the Gezhouba Dam at Yichang into waters which were considerably more placid than the raging torrents we had experienced upriver. The mighty Yangtze had been tamed! |

A Selection from Robert's Wild Cards
| The start of these personal webpages and the Vietnam pictures, followed a chance meeting with a young man named Hoang in 1979. Hoang was one of the "Boat People" from Vietnam who arrived in the UK. In due course I was given the responsibility of teaching him some English. A few weeks later I met his family and friends, and subsequently their families and friends, and friends and families, of friends and families.... and so it was that the ideas for the personal webpages began. |

| Browse through the many China pics on the personal webpages and enjoy again a meal of Peking Duck with pancakes at the Qian Men Restaurant in Beijing. See what happens to the floor of a Ming Dynasty Hall after Buddhist Monks have stamped their feet for hundreds of years, as shown in the China pics from the Shaolin temple on the personal webpages of Robert. |
