    Love it. Would be a heavenly spot there… without the ships… but that unfortunately spoils many natural wonders on our planet.

    My daughter researched the Yangtse Three Gorges in China in high school. She spent a lot of time with it, and it was very interesting to read. Now I get to see it for real (somewhat) and it is as wonderous as I imagined it. Thanks for sharing!

    Hope your daughter will enjoy this image too. Thanks for the visit.

    Wow, I thought the mountains that surround me (The Blue Ridge Mountains) were the only ones that were blue in appearance. This is beautiful! I would love to be there!

    Actually it is in the early morning, so the mountain looks blue. But there are really beautiful.

    This is a lovely shot steven. I like the PoV . The way the river narrows away into the distance is quite eyecatching.The ships give the river a nice sense of scale without taking your focus away from it.
