To see a world in a grain of sand


To see a world in a grain of sand 
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand 
And eternity in an hour.   
- William Blake

一沙一世界,一花一天堂。
无限掌中置,刹那成永恒。
- (英)威廉·布莱克 [徐志摩 译]

Ricoh 500G, a failthful old camera that I have owned for more than 30 years. It certainly has brightened my days a lot and accompanied me when I was learning photography. This is my second camera. It certainly look old with some reasonable wear and tear after all these years.

Tibet revisited - 2012 [Qingzang Train Ride]

I never expect myself to revisit Tibet again so soon, i.e. just two years after my last visit in 2010. In any case, it was still a very fulfilling and enjoyable trip, with a bunch of good friends.

Here are some photos taken while taking the train from Chengdu to Lhasa, during the part of journey which covers the highland railway, and commonly known as Qingzang Railway (or Qinghai-Tibet Railway).

This is a high-elevation railway that connects Xining (Qinghai Province), to Lhasa, (Tibet Autonomous Region), in People's Republic of China.

Things you want and things you don't want

If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.  ~Oscar Wilde
