With all the ugliness that photographs have filled me with of late, I was quite taken by the three lovely photographs below from a photo essay in today's China Daily. I reproduce them here for the sheer pleasure of seeing them on these pages as A meteorological miracle:
Gone are sandstorms blurring eyes in the past months, northwestern China's Qinghai Province is now blanketed by a 12-mm snow on May 2, a meteorological miracle blessing the May 1-7 holiday-goers to the hinterland region. More than 400,000 people are expected to visit Xining, capital city of Qinghai during the travel peak season.
