    A fisherman salvages dead fish from water hyacinths on the surface of the Minjiang River in Wankou village, Fujian province, China on Jan. 31, 2012.

    Dead fish pulled from hyacinth-choked Chinese river

    The fishing industry on the Minjiang River is under threat due to the spread of water hyacinth, according to local media monitored by Reuters. The fast-growing plant is seen as a serious environmental issue in China.

    A man watches as waves crash into rocks in Zhangpu on Oct. 23, in Fujian, China. Torrential rain and gale-force winds lashed southern China as Typhoon Megi made landfall after killing at least 48 people as it roared through the Philippines and battered Taiwan. Chinese State television broadcast images of strong winds bending trees in the southeastern coastal province of Fujian, where billboards had toppled over and large waves whipped the coast.

    A lovely picture from a fierce storm.
