This is a photo taken in China, Summer 2008, in a beautiful Chinese Garden. The philosophy in Chinese design and art is to reveal a little at a time, never the whole all at once. The viewer of the art in the garden, or in any artistic creation, is then called upon to put the pieces together, to make sense out of the parts and gradually begin to understand the whole.
This photo was taken just this past weekend, when Scott and I were visiting the Chinese Garden section of the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis. Similar portal. Beauty that literally took my breath away. Such loveliness...
I love this gate... I hope you are doing well in China!
