Wo Zhi KanKan (I am Just Looking) (JiaShan, China) Copyright 2023 Douglas Stockdale - Another morning in which I woke up with a list of plans and just like Charlie Brown, I wonder off and find myself working on sometime different.

You might image my surprise when I was poking around Bing images last week in-between events when I did a search on "Contemporary Landscape Photography" to see what might come up and the very first image was....mine! Yep, the photograph above, Winter Field, JiaShan, that I created while staying in the city of JiaShan, China... Continue Reading →
