Inspired by Jianshuo, I spent this year’s “thinking week” early July in Kanas Lake, the top-left corner of China landscape. However, I really hesitated to take camera with me in annual “thinking week” because its reserved more for my inner meditation. Anyway, I took a camera with me this time because I was routed from Beijing to Kanas Lake after a business trip for my portfolio wealink.com. So there’s a chance that I took several pictures though reluctantly. The pictures are not the classical scene of Kanas Lake like those on Jianshuo’s blog, but a very special collection when I climbed up to Guanyu Pavilion.

Firstly, I found a rainbow in south-eastern sky(Mongolian border). The rainbow is changing with it’s size dynamically. So I turn my sight to the opposite direction to find the source of the rainbow.

Yes, I found another group of clouds in northern sky(Russian border). They are showering to the lake! I can even hear the sound of rain when they hit the surface of lake. I can’t help taking pictures of the amazing view. However, it seemed its too grand picture to fit into one picture. The great things can only be memorized. The feeling was not just enjoying, but a kind of bliss.

Kanas was not just simply magic of raining and rainbow though I never seen in urban life. When I happened to turn back to another side of the rainbow(south-western, the Kazakhstan border), I found the clouds painting on the grassland fastly. They ran very fast leaving different shapes of shadow on the ground. Interestingly, the speed of painting changed time by time that triggered your imagination there were someones manipulating the “pens” behind.

I don’t know how long I stood there to turn 3 different directions. But I’m sure I was breathless for right a while. I’m not sure if there are anyones else ever seen such fabulous view before. Could be different but same feeling and reverence to the nature?
