When I told someone Chengdu is a hot city, I meant both food and the city itself. Hopefully, I finally remembered that I forgot procrastinated to post my photos I took when I travelled to Chengdu and stayed for a few days this winter. Still, these pictures are taken from my old Canon 50D DSLR and the mediocre lens.

Cities of Minneapolis and Duluth plus wide angles
Minneapolis
First of all, the skyline of Minneapolis on MN-65 northbound. It is a beautiful city yet I haven’t post any shots of the city itself, so here is one.
The Minnehaha falls is within the city bound among private residences. Too young, too simple, sometimes naive. Continue reading Cities of Minneapolis and Duluth plus wide angles
Lake superior and sunset
Lake Superior – Sugarloaf Cove
Position: 47°29’11″N 90°58’59″W
I took this photo with the waterproof Xperia upside down with camera underwater. Not exactly what I expected but still amazing enough to see colorful cobblestone underwater.
Yet another regular collection of colorful stone beach.

Minneapolis food journal?!
So it is spring break, aka. time for playing around. Apart from plenty of iterative integral assignments that are due after the spring break assigned by Tullia, we are travelling (and ingressing) in Minnesota this time. This is just a brief food journal, and I guess these courses are worth trying.
