What makes the place scenic is the limestone peaks.  Our guide said they quarry so much limestone here that some of these limestone mountains are literally ground down to nothing and disappear.  It made for a lot of air pollution until recently they started putting in place some regulations.



Beautiful!

mia, i didn't know you made puppets.  these pictures are for you.  they are the puppets, although these don't have the sticks attached which is how they operate and control them in the water.  if i knew how to upload a short video i'd be able to show them to you in action.

a short portion of the show had these dragon puppets in it (well, not these exact dragons, but you know what i mean).  they shoot water out of their mouths.

Thank you so much.  Smiley I would love to see them in action. (I can't upload video's either)



OT but it a long time ago now. For a few years that was what I did for a living. I still have the remains of my workshops in closets and boxes at home. It happens that I still make one now and then as a gift or a special order. They wouldn't have worked in water though.  Cheesy

I would love to see how they operated them. Advanced technique to make them shoot water

Thank you for sharing these, sweet Beth!  Kiss

Love this.

So typically "Asian" - being present, yet being absent. Pure contemplation.

I've been to that place in 1990.

These colour contrasts are wonderful.
