Exposé! | In Medium Regnum
https://inmediumregnum.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/expose
December 10, 2011. The weather the full three days was something between misting and sprinkling. We occasionally broke out of a cloud bank, only to climb into another layer of cloud. This gave an illusion of tiny spaces and short staircases. Temples never before visited were duly admired. Temples admired on previous journeys were lovingly embraced. The Elephant Bathing Pool monastery, recently painted and cloaked in mist. British colonial architecture along the Bund. One Response to “Exposé! Notify me of...

National Day | In Medium Regnum
https://inmediumregnum.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/national-day
October 3, 2011. There was an elegant playground modeled after a kungfu training course. The locals were enthusiastic about roasting whole animals; mostly duck, chicken, and rabbit. The town’s strangler fig trees might be the oldest trees we’ve seen in China yet. It’s so rare to see trees that lasted the Great Leap Forward, let alone the last 500 years. One Response to “National Day”. October 3, 2011 at 11:39 am. Great photos and commentary! We love to see China. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

From the New Frontier… | In Medium Regnum
https://inmediumregnum.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/newfrontier
From the New Frontier…. June 19, 2011. Andrew and I have been in Xinjiang (New Frontier) Province for about a week now. We’ve spent this time on a train, in Urumqi (the capitol city of the province), and in the areas around Urumqi. They stick uncooked flatbreads to the inside of a big, round charcoal oven with iron spears. The flatbreads magically stick to the walls well out of reach of the coals and get fished out 5 minutes later. Kebabs are roasted over coals in sometimes intricately stamped tin grills.

July 7, 2011. We frittered away an evening and a night in Bishkek. The city has an ample number of abandoned Soviet buildings. What you don’t realize about abandoned Soviet buildings until you see one in the Tian Shan. Steppes, is how beautiful they are. It sometimes feels like you’re stumbling upon a lost civilization of more advanced technology. You’re left awestruck by Soviet ambition. Here are some Soviet-themed pictures of Bishkek. The museum of art. July 5, 2011. Inside, there were 4 women tending ...

Lychees | In Medium Regnum
https://inmediumregnum.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/lychees
August 3, 2011. We set our eyes to this farm, and followed the tenant through ripening rice patties and taro patches to a back orchard of citrus and lychee. These particular lychee trees had been well picked, unlike some heavily fruited trees we passed on the road. The lychee farmer, toting 4 kilos of fruit. We ended the day with a ride up the river. I also learned that it is possible to eat too many lychees. 3 Responses to “Lychees”. August 14, 2011 at 1:35 am. Love from Nancy Lee. This evening we are g...

Monkey in the park! April 29, 2011. Coming back from Walmart in the 100 degree oven of a late Sichuan afternoon, I spied a monkey sunning itself in the park by our apartment building. By the time we got up to our balcony, it had made its way into the trees. April 25, 2011. Some of my favorite gifts from students:. Mini-terracotta soldiers from Xi’an! Sadly, one of these little guys lost a leg; but they’re no less dear for the wear. April 12, 2011. This last photo shows where a lake one valley over drains...

九寨沟 | In Medium Regnum
https://inmediumregnum.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/九寨沟
October 10, 2011. Our national holiday week was crowned with a trip to Jiuzhaigou in the company of Ruth and Timothy. The national park (in the Minshan range of the Himalayas) has about five unique things going on at once, including a couple of Tibetan villages and some rare geology. The combined effect of these things makes for a kind of fairyland. The tips of dead tree trunks quickly become stone-encrusted islands that support new growth. The top of Pearl Falls, an advancing wall of travertine. Reflect...

T Time has moved. Please come and visit our new website http:/ thetomlinsons.tumblr.com/. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Here is a snap shot of our home being built. We are still hoping for a December due date, but we need all the prayer we can get so keep the prayers alive! June 16 we started with some gravel and now we have walls. I am 33 weeks today! Baby T is looking an awful lot like a pineapple! I am now sleeping with 8 pillows, thanks to heartburn, a big belly, sleeplessness, and just plain fun! If any...
