"art is never finished, only abandoned"

Leonardo da Vinci

Blessed flamingo
feed me foreign,
entrance me with your call

Oh, how all the plants thrive

Lend me your compass,
guide me through to
invade your habitat

My lover,
I'm beginning to melt

Today I went to the waterfront where Daguan Pavillion is located. To my surprise it turned out to be mixed in with a kind of amusement park. Lots of boat rides, costume vendors and the likes in between huge lotus lakes. I'm lucky to still hit the end of the flowering season, it's just so beautiful. And by the way: lotus root was one of my favourite parts of the hotel breakfast in Chengdu.

One of the pavillions held a lot of these wooden reliefs. Unfortunately Engrish information is mostly provided at the entrance of such rooms and rarely for individual pieces.
