  1. I don't even know what to say Jens... I am still wondering through the streets with you and walking along the great wall with my mouth open. What a fantastic photo essay! Thank you for answering today's Creative Potager sprout question and leaving us this link. Amazing! Terrill

  2. Jens,
    highlighting the extraordinary in the ordinary! Brilliant. That is exactly how my wife views life - she tells more from a 10 min bus ride in rural Germany than I would do after a 10 day packed trip through India!
    Come to India - India is one big photo op! And teach us how to work our camera;-)
    Best,
    Poul

    Greetings from Germany! You made me feel as if I was there. I'll be going myself to China in 2 months and this is fantastic inspiration.

    These are amazing photographs! Jens skill and artists' eye help me to see even more than I "saw" -- or appreciated -- when I was there.

  7. Jens, these are nice photos. I can see that you enjoyed China.

    I have a travel blog that lists some nice areas/cities in China. Hope would be helpful to your readers. Still have more to write though:
