Green Mountain in China


Blogroll Me!

The Chinese have been sprucing up the countryside in anticipation of the summer Olympics this year.
This probably looks better from an airplane!
This is Laoshou mountain range. The photo was shot last August 2007. The ugly depression is a result of quarrying. The touch up job is a not so cleaver attempt to appear green in time for the 2008 Summer Games. The cost was $56,000 and took several weeks and 7 men to complete. Oh...and the villagers had to leave their homes because of the fumes. Do you suppose it is lead paint? But everything is cool...move along nothing to see here!
