shaoshan is famous as the birthplace and former residence of chairman mao zedong. he had his humble beginnings in this modest town, which now serves as an important site for people from all over china who are intent on pledging their dedication to the communist party. i imagine that shaoshan may be akin to a sort of permanent, peaceful political rally in the states, though being somewhat of a recluse when it comes to matters of state, i wouldn't know firsthand.
i generally occupied myself taking photos while in shaoshan, many of which include the gorgeous lotus blossoms i have seen from afar, but hadn't yet had an opportunity to see closer up. they do indeed make wonderful subjects for photography!
the last 2 images are of a stone wall, which i photographed because i like stone walls...
