Xianyang in Spring, original illustration — **Spring** · The wheat greens up, then rapeseed and apricot blossom follow. The wind stays raw and the days still swing between warm and cold. · Vector version

Xianyang in Summer, original illustration — **Summer** · The wheat is cut in June and the maize pushes up behind it. In a dry spell, canal water and wells decide how green the fields look. · Vector version

Xianyang in Autumn, original illustration — **Autumn** · Maize, apples and pomegranates ripen in turn and the tablelands begin to turn yellow; each autumn rain deepens the colour of the hills. · Vector version

Xianyang in Winter, original illustration — **Winter** · The fields rest and village outlines sharpen. Fog is common, and distant hills often reduce to a pale line. · Vector version
