Yesterday was a stunning day here in Huizhou. It was warm and sunny, a sweet aroma from flowering trees filled the air, and the sounds of migratory birds chirping in trees blended in with the regular fusion of noise - the street cleaner that combs the streets daily, blaring 'It's a small world after all,' the shouts and screams of delighted children who have been released from school for Spring Festival, (otherwise known as Chinese New Year), the nostalgic putt-putt motors of working river boats, the cackling voices of old women playing cards, the drone of distant excavators and the hum of traffic. It was an exceptional day. Spring Festival is just a couple of weeks away, and things are starting to wind down, while at the same time excitement is building.
In the early afternoon I hopped on my bike and rode around the island, stopping here and there to take a snapshot and do some sketching.
