Descending the Ch’ing T’an. Photographer: Mennie, Donald
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View of a boat negotiating the rapids: ‘The deep water channel is close along the right bank (on the left hand) but the stream from thence sets directly on to the sharp pinnacles which form the Erh T’an (second or middle rapid). This pilot prefers to take the risk of running on the submerged ledge, which causes the welter of foam, rather than that of being dashed on the pinnacles below.’
