On A Clear Day

Lately the weather in Nanjing has been gorgeous. Normally there is a grayish brown haze in the air; the downside effect of all of the growth going on in China. The main culprit of this haze seems to be cement dust from all of the new building for housing, industry, transportation and entertainment. This especially true in Jiangsu Province, which Nanjing is the capital of, and Shanghai, the economic capital of China.

So when I look up and actually see blue skies or when I go up in a tall building in the center of Nanjing and I can see the mountains that surround it; it is almost magical. Add to this spring flowers, green plants and budding trees and it is very pleasant right now. the other thing that is nice is hearing the birds; especially when I run to Zhong Shan Li (Nanjings main park)in the mornings.

I have been going to parks and walking around the JIETT campus taking pictures. Here are a few from Yuhuatai Scenic Area, the Botanical Gardens at Zhong Shan Li and the school I teach at JIETT.
