zen carvings

On our way back from the Sun Moon Lake, we stopped by Kuangsheng, a town famous for its wood carvings. This is one of their wooden symbols, reminiscent of the meticulous raking of Japanese sand gardens.

Fascinating forms and colors, especially the black bar, normally too rude, brings harmony here...
