Mist rising between the many peaks of Huanglong National Park in Sichuan Province, China. This is the mystical native habitat of Giant Pandas and Leopards, the latter of which I was lucky enough to see at close range (from the safety of a car) stalking a herd of sheep. Magic still happens at Huanglong. A 1500 year old inscription carved into a stone several kilometers from the park entrance says that those who see the upper pools of Huanglong peer into a rift in the heavens, and are blessed.
