It’s been too many weekends with out bicycling. The truth is I’ve been preparing for my 2 week trip through China . I decided to replace bicycling weekends with running weekends, targeting my training to the specific activity for the next 2 weeks, not that I’d be running, but rather walking more often. What irony, walking in China, a country of more that a billion bicycles. But as in all cases when you travel the choice is always between getting close to the country or see more of the country. I chose to see more of the country. In doing so I shot over 2,000 photographs. The challenge to see and capture 5,000 years of history in 2 weeks was over whelming.

Lantau Buddah, originally uploaded by bicyclistken.

This is the largest seated Buddha in Asia. The Tian Tan Buddha was built in 1993 completely of bronze on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. I shot this from the seat of the Buddha.
