Red Land, Yunnan, China

Dongchuan, a rural area in the northeast of Kunming, is believed that it has the world's most imposing red earth, even more magnificent than that in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Because of the warm and humid climate in Yunnan, the Iron oxide in the soil deposited slowly through years and gradually developed an extraordinary reddish brown soil. It is seldom visited by general tourists for its remoteness, however, the land with picturesque scenery is paradise for photography fans.Dongchuan Red Land offers the most attractive colors in China. It is decorated with multi-color crops. Fiery red soil, emerald green barley, golden yellow buckwheat and snow white oil flowers against the floating clouds, ever-changing light and the deep blue sky make a marvelous painting, bringing not only the strongest visual impact. It becomes the mecca for passionate photographers around the China. This is another one of my most visited areas of our photo tours in the late spring and the fall

Afghan women clad in burqa walk up a hill at the old part of Kabul, May 10, 2012. As the U.S. charts a way out of a decade-long unpopular war, Afghan girls are back in school, infant and maternal survival rates are up and a quarter of the Parliament's seats are reserved for women who at least on paper have the same voting, mobility and other rights as men.
