Kathryn and I took a day trip with her friend Tracy to Suzhou. At first, I was thinking of Suzhou as a suburb of Shanghai but it's actually a city of almost 6 million. According to The Lonely Planet (my guide book), Suzhou is known for "its classical gardens, silk and lovely women." We visited several of the gardens, the silk museum and, with 6 million people, there were more than a few women who could be considered "lovely."
This shot was taken at the Garden of the Master of the Nets. The garden was originally laid out in the 12th century, abandoned and then restored in the 18th century as part of a retired official's residence. Quite tranquil.
