A striking golden-orange waterfall created from water running down the hillside from the abandoned mining operations around Jinguashi. The toxic mineral-laden water flows downstream into the ocean, creating the famous Yin-Yang Sea (陰陽海).

Curator, Spectral Codex
I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
