From this past week:

Walked up a mountain and there was a big cave with a temple inside. Amazingly, perhaps for the first time ever, didn't see anyone, not even a security guard. Later I went deeper into the cave which didn't have any lights, I used my second phone as a flashlight and saw a bat come straight at me. I recorded the video and am sure it'd be a viral hit if I shared it. Pretty sure I don't have rabies.

Nice to see this happening on the river next to the embassy area:

Spoiler:

This is where I walk my dog and let her go swimming in the river. About a 15 minute walk from home:

Spoiler:

I discovered this place last year, it's not open to the public as it's a residential area for multiple families. But this arch is magnificent. Was a courtyard home for a Qing general about 120 years ago.

These massive trees down an old alley caught my eyes while riding a bike:

Down by the lake:

First yellow one I’ve ever seen in person.

Spent the past few days in Inner Mongolia. I guess that's our summer trip.

I didn't even notice the herder under the tree until I got home and looked at this picture:

Spoiler:

I had no idea squirrels lived on the grassland. It is this faggot's rough delight to see wild animals:

Spoiler:

Cattle and horses on the grassland:

Spoiler:

A horse riding show for tourists that I enjoyed quite a bit:

Spoiler:

My dog had a helluva time running herself silly with all this big open space and no people:

Spoiler:

Nice woods on top of a mountain:

Vacation is over.

I hiked this trail several times. This year it became clear what a huge difference losing weight has made.

Pouring beer at the trolley museum.

 

[LoneSage]

You say pouring beer at the trolley museum, and I see a trolley museum but no beer. Curious.

 

[lithy]

You want a beer, it's $6.
