Hi all,

We're moving from the mountains of western China to its heart, south of Guilin. Such a stunning location and one I am sure I will never tire of shooting... This is just a random selection from one morning trip up the river from the new home... all the best...

Beautiful set Alistair! How about a little background on the 3rd? It's really different to say the least.

The shot was taken in Reed Flute Cave just 5km from the center of Guilin. The whole area is a series of substantial Limestone Peaks and caves. This is actually quite a small pool inside the cave, but is still very beautiful...

Holy monkeys. Wicked set. Great mood in 1 though I prefer 2 for the slightly better comp. Stick to 700px high for web btw. 3 is just silly. Really that blue in there? Great stuff

These are spectacular captures. This place is awesome!! It is in my travel list since 2007. I just wanna be in this boat with all these limestones around me. I was debating between Guilin and Vietnam (Hanoi-I think). Finally...I went to Africa

But it is on my future list.

Excellent images.

alibenn,

Wow, poster perfect images! Lijiang is blessed to have photographers like you to showcase it to the world. I am originally from China but have never visited that part of the country. Would love to do so someday.

I have book marked your site and am sure will visit often. Thanks for sharing these great images.

Beautiful set Alister - I really liked the first one until I scrolled down to the second one. The colors and reflections in that shot are incredible.

Great work.
