Morning in the Garden

Sorry all. I have been quite sick lately and done little more than go to school and come home and sleep. So here's part 2 of the 10/25 school field trip. I'm not going to try to explain the layout of the place because I don't have a good progression of shots and it would be too time-consuming, so just please to enjoy a medley of pictures.

Walking to the gardens I turned around and snapped a shot of a part of our group


A shot of one of two ponds. This one had a winding stone path you could walk on.


Two of my coworkers standing next to one of the many buildings. The one on the left is from California and the one on the right is from New Zealand. Both teach English NOT Chinese.


A shot of one of the main garden areas with a decent mountain backdrop and some people wandering about. Nothing special.


Action shot! This is an American ex-pat photographing a South African ex-pat with our Principal.


The other pond. This one is much more open and is set against a beautiful backdrop. Some more of my group are walking along the edge. This pond is actually the entrance to the garden. I am taking this shot as we are leaving so I am standing at the entrance/exit looking back.


A shot of the entrance/exit as we leave. Off to the left is the pond from the last shot.


Finally, a shot of the mountainside. I think this shot one came out particularly well.


Next up, the walk!
