Commanding Elevation

Sorry again for the short post, but I'm still without the internet at my place.

A couple of weeks ago I climbed to the highest point in Guiyang and took some photos.  This is not the best one I got, but it is interesting in that you can see in the distance a new city basically being built from scratch.  I've been through it once or twice, and it's like a post-apocalyptic ghost town; bunches of empty skyscrapers, and wide, empty streets.  Apparently the government is trying to re-center the city away from "old" Guiyang, and move it out there.  I guess we'll see how that goes.
