The Li River originates in the Mao'er Mountains in Xing'an county and flows through Guilin, Yangshuo and Pingle, down into the Xi Jiang, the western tributary of the Pearl River in Wuzhou, its course of 437 kilometers is flanked by green hills. Cormorant fishing is often associated with Lijiang river. Its unique hillsides was often make a comparison for their similar shape and geographical structure with Halong Bay, Vietnam.

Hi,
Really nice shot. The pale colors gave it a particular beautiful effect.
Congratulations,

The perfect light for a good sunrise! Just when the sun is about to appear above the horizon. In this photo, the background is marvellous and the composition well balanced. Well done.

Hi Peter, thanks to visit my gallery. I see you like my photos. Thanks you for your comments. This shot is good landscape but is not attractive. More lights in the dark places and more colors may be better. Cool place. Post the photos in the maximum size for TE.

excellent paysage ambiance agréable
cette image me fait penser à la baie d'Along
amicalement

hi peter,
the compo is great. the people on the boat to the left and the other human elements to the right are not clear which could have made this a more delightful panoramic vista.

Hi Peter, lovely scene but not easy to shoot because of the difficult light. Personaly i found the light at the right a bit to strong almost overexposure. Maybe the use of another f/ with longer exposure would help.

Hi Peter, Welcome to TE. This is a beautiful scen you have captured and presented well. I like the early morning back light as it adds to the ambiance. Those hills are appealing. TFS. Murray.
