Autumn Migrations - Ben Shemen Forest

These pictures were taken in China during my participation in the IT & RFID convension in Dalyan. I also visited the amazing archeological sites in Xi'an with the Terracotta Warriors site as main point of interest. The museum and the archeological sites of Xi'an are a must for anyone interested in the ancient history of China and the history and evolution of our  civilizations. I was impressed with the progress in China but also worried about their serious problems. With long gray days because of heavy pollution, huge buildings and towers that are empty and heavy urbanization process forcing everyone to move from the countryside to the world of small expensive apartments in huge new towers.  I hope that China will find the way to combine the economical growth that they need with care for the nature, environment and preservation of their beautiful countryside and original culture.
