Shennongjia prefecture

The Shennongjia prefecture, in the west of Hubei province and to the south of the Qinling mountains, has some of the richest mixed temperate broadleaf forests in the world. In autumn, the trees turn to gold, enhanced by the yellow of larches and the deep red of beeches. The nature reserve was formerly a timber production farm and the most accessible forests have been cut. But some primary forests remain at highest altitude or in steep valleys and around the tall limestone pinnacles, where mists constantly swirl and shroud the landscape. These pinnacles halt the flow of moisture to the west but the winds soon lift the clouds over the ridges of Shennongjia to send them on to the higher peaks of Qinling and Min. The conifer zones of the upper levels of the reserve are carpeted by dense bamboo thickets and in some areas, where fires have destroyed the sheltering forest canopy, there are open areas of pure bamboo. Outside the reserve, broadleaf forests stretch away in extensive rolling hill

Hot Rods and Hot Babes

A production car that has been modified by the owner in the attempt to increase acceleration and top end speed. Although the term can be applied to any modified car, it is usually reserved for vehicles produced from 1930 to 1940's. Typically the engine is modified, and some body panels removed. Many were painted with a design of flames behind the front wheels to give the appearance that this vehicle was "hot" thus the name.Hot rods are part of American culture, although there is growing controversy within the automotive hobby over an increasing trend towards the irreversible acquisition and modification of surviving examples of historic - some even very rare - vehicles rather than the traditional hot rodding concept of the salvage and remanufacture of reusable junked parts
