Nice Poon. Your images show us places most of us will never travel to. They have a very tranquil feel to them, sharp and nicely saturated.

Well done. Show us more if you got them!

Poon, really like 3 & 4, very tranquil.

The helmet you are wearing on the motorcycle doesn't look like it would help you in an accident. :lol:

Glen,

Yes, you are correct. It was made of cheap plastic as thin like paper.

But the policemen in China don't care if your helmet is made of paper or steel. :lol:

If you don't wear it, they will give you penalty AU$50.

They are more concern of money than your life.
