Fog

photo: REUTERS/Claro Cortes IV (CHINA)

Dense fog casts a pall over Beijing's week-long celebrations of the Lunar New Year.

Any way you slice it: something more than meets the eye.






Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 27, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 50, Bronze: 40
  • Final notes:
    I tried judging this quickly to see if I could successfully manage to host a truly anonymous contest here without finding out who entered and it worked this time. Thank you all for your creative takes on this photo and remember to credit the photographer if you used it on your poem page. All the best.


    Moonstone Path

    Lunar month in retrospective
    exhibition is reflected
    in the slide the mindful eye
    applies to gateways half-shut, shy
    to open them as wide as full
    allowing estuary flow
    and give and take of moonlit pull

    -- Marcy Jarvis
