The sky in the opium ponds in Humen, China
The January sky, reflected in one of the ponds where Lin Zexu, a Chinese official, destroyed more than 2 million pounds of opium in 1839. British traders sold the drug to Chinese citizens. After the confiscation, the traders convinced the British government to authorize a war of retribution against China.

Very nice Stevo… HDR?
Yes, HDR. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough contrast in the original to bring out the reflection. It was a grey, ugly day, not much I shot was usable without digital alterations.
Wow. Fantastic image, Stevo.

The above comments were made in the WordPress dashboard. I don’t like the way they look and won’t do it again.
Looks stormy and forbidding.

Shawn: Not so. It’s a very quiet place, despite the tourists.
