Pretty windy and icy cold - shot was taken on one of Yantai's more rocky beaches. The white stuff on the beach in the left foreground is snow.

View it larger on a black background - 15s exposure with the camera facing into the storm - longer was impossible because the camera vibration on the tripod caused by the strong wind was too much. Shooting in the opposite viewing direction I could go to the limits of the camera with a 60sec exposure.

A tourist's pier at dusk. Compared to a previous upload the view is just about the opposite direction and this allowed to shield the tripod/camera from the strong winds with my body.

Result is a 60sec exposure that makes the scenery appear nearly bright as daylight and adds a nice "foggy effect" to the water. View it larger on a black background

Quick shot before lunchtime. The Dongshan Hotel is one of the older hotels in Yantai, so even if it has a prime location at the seashore, one should not expect prime rooms.

The park belonging to the hotel grounds was recently being redecorated by erecting some classic Chinese styled pavilions.
