Pixeldawg Loc: Suzhou, China

Hello all,

It has been incredibly busy here this semester and our classes have had to be completely reworked because we had students literally from around the world that were online. On top of that, trying to teach the 3D animation software Maya to complete beginners presents its' own issues as well. Maya is considered the single most difficult software to learn as well, so there's that too. We here in China are returning to a somewhat "normal" life, but because of our jobs, my wife and I have some travel restrictions and have decided to do the "Stay-cation" and visit places in and around the city of Suzhou, where we live. So, during the weekends when we are off, we will "explore" the areas of Suzhou and surrounding countryside that we have not been to. Here are five of the images I made. I have a "public" album on Facebook with the other images and will be adding to it. Hope you enjoy and be healthy.

Hi Ed!

I know nothing about birds or their types, but was told it is a "Black Crowned Night Heron". Does not look too black to me, and in fact, the thing that struck me was his color. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi, Pixeldawg,
Your image series, to my eye, exemplifies, above all else, the concept of our “one World”!

Greetings, Dave!

Without sounding too preachy I hope, this is why I post from China. Americans in particular- me being one of them- know so little about China and much of what they know is either completely wrong or highly misunderstood. In my images, I try to give people something nice to look at while learning a little as well and happy to see you get that. It is frustrating though because I am constantly getting comments about being a communist (I am not...) or lying (I don't...). It is what it is and many unfortunately keep a closed mind.

Thanks again for the nice comment and stay healthy.

Good to see you posting again. Very nice series. All good, but the 2 boat men are my favorites.
Stay healthy,
Don
