About this image
The Yellow River is the second-longest river in China, and the sixth longest in the world. It drains a basin area of 740,000 square kilometers. It has been the cradle of Chinese civilization; but frequent devastating floods have also earned it the name of China's Sorrow. Historical maps from ~200BCE indicate the Yellow River was then flowing considerably north of its present course. A major course change in 1194 took over the Huai River drainage system throughout the next 700 years. The Yellow River adopted its present course in 1897 after the latest course change occurred in 1855. Currently, the Yellow River ends in the Bohai Sea, yet its eastern terminus continues to oscillate from points north and south of the Shandong Peninsula in its many dramatic shifts over time. The two ASTER images, acquired in 2001 (left) and 2009 (right), dramatically show the changes. The images cover an area of 36.5 x 41.4 km, and are located near 37.6 degrees north latitude, 119 degrees east longitude. Caption information from Wikipedia.

What my clients say
From the time of purchase Adam kept me up to date on the status of my order. The frame I originally wanted was on back order, but he was able to help me choose a similar frame. The print and frame are beautiful! I would recommend his company.
Very pleased with my order. Everything was as advertised and my order arrived faster than expected. I would highly recommend this.
We selected a photo of Adams that we felt captured the beauty of the Chicago downtown river walk area and asked him to apply a brushed filter in a large format of approximately 70” x 50”. It was printed on a large canvas and box framed . It tuned out FABULOUS! Wish I could attach a photo of it hanging in our foyer so you could appreciate the beauty we are enjoying! Overall experience was wonderful and the artist is a pleasure to work with. If I could give 10 stars I would.
