A few nice China images I found:

A Boeing B-314 flies over San Francisco Bay, with the Pan American Airways seaplane base at Treasure Island visible at lower right. Photo received via the San Francisco Aeronautical Society, which is planning an upcoming celebration in 2010 to mark the 75th anniversary of the first China Clipper flight.

The girl in the middle looks like she wants to get back to the cookie jar.

Please see the more serious COMMENTS # 5 and #7 below about the "open pants", and other features in the image. Thanks, Ralph and Kali.

From a group of original 1895-1935 glass lantern slides depicting scenes and people in pre-WW2 China. The coloring is not mine. They were tinted by hand using fine brushes at the time the slides were made. With only a few exceptions, the size of the slides is 3 1/4 inches x 4 inches, with the centered image being smaller depending on the size of the border matte. I have cropped away the matte for most of these flickr posts. Enjoy..
