Art, part I




A jade pillow at the Capital Museum. Really amazingly beautiful things here that reminded me how and why I fell in love with Chinese calligraphy, painting, and art.


A bridal chamber.

Sitting in the apartment watching the sand storm come in, two giant pieces of styrofoam just came barreling down from somewhere above me, smashed into the ground, and knocked over a bike. They coulda killed someone. And now lots of other garbage, plastic bags and unidentifiable debris are whipping in the wind. How strange.



Dragons at the Capital Museum




Beijing opera Masks, replicas.

I've been getting some comments on photos and wanted to share some more beautiful pictures, if you're interested in other worldly travels.
My good friend friend Cari is returning soon to Wisconsin after spending three months biking across the Andes and is an amazing photographer. You can check out her photos here.
