I love to see irises, and they are in the flower shops at the moment. That' not the reason for posting this, but I've been going through and transferring my photos to my new program Memory Manager, and came across this photo.
I don't recall that I have posted it here before, and quite lazily I haven't checked either.
It was at a pond at the entrance to an amazing mountain in China at a place called Tonglu.
Along with a group of students we climbed up the inside of a mountain - there were stone steps and we kept going up in this amazing wonderland of stone, water (a huge waterfall was at the top of the mountain) so it was wet, slippery, and cold.
When we reached the part where the steps were surrounded by a cage and the steps went up vertically, my friend and I baulked. We were both over 60 years of age, and that surely would have punished our backs, and legs.
We were escorted back down another route. Luckily.
