Shen’ao – An ancient village in China – Part 2: The surrounding countryside

Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains – an ancient scroll and a modern film – inspired this photo essay from China’s Zhejiang Province. And my dream to get as far away from the megacities as possible came true.

It is time to explore the villages, the landscapes, roads and people surrounding Shen’ao. And for photography, walking is the medium.

The intro in Part 1 serves this Part 2 too, and below I let my photos speak more than my words. All images are orcessed, some are purely documentary; others I have processed beyond that.

No parking here the next few days…

Now follow me to Part 3 (forthcoming).
