Well, maybe you didn't ask. But I find this photo fascinating. And it is my blog, after all.
In this photo provided by China's Xinhua News Agency, flood water gushes from the Xiaolangdi Reservoir in Jiyuan, central China's Henan Province, Tuesday, July 27, 2010.

The Xiaolangdi Reservoir holds back the Yellow River, China's second largest. Floods across China are
sweeping people to their deaths...
At least 21 people are missing after a landslide in southern China caused by relentless rain buried dozens of apartments in Shauanghe.
Rescuers have been searching for the missing people as more than 4,000 were evacuated from their homes on Tuesday.
Flooding in the area has already caused the deaths of at least 823 people this year, keeping the flooding disaster in the Google trends and a big topic on the web for months.
It's always good to pull back and view our own problems with a little different perspective I think.
