Today I've another view of the li river – two photos, first in black and white and second in color.
The lack of wake tells me this is a view in the direction we were headed.
A man stands on the natural promontory just ahead of the boat. When viewed at 100% of the original, you can see two colleagues sitting beside him.
Hemmed in by the karst limestone outcrops on either side, the river meanders from side to side across the flood plain as it draws us into the haze-shrouded distance.
