As spring turns to summer in Nanjing the trees are really looking great. The red maples in particular seem to be planted all over the city and make a spectacular splash of colour.

Going out recently we saw the light shining through this maple in our compound. It brought the tree to life! I pass it everyday and it doesn't look anywhere near as nice as it did when I took this photo. (Magic light is what photographers look for.)
I have put togther some collections of photos taken over the last 3 weekends around Nanjing. These can be found on my photo blog using the links below.
Our first early summer visit was to Mochouhu in the middle of the city.

Another warm sunny day was spent down at Xuanwu Lake. We have been there a number of times and always find something new that we hadn't seen before. Even though it was a warm sunny day, the sky was not blue - apology for the washed out skies.

Another weekend focussed on the Nanjing City Wall. Xuanwu Lake being outside the protection of the wall.
