Ho ho ho ... |

Hmm ... |

What on earth ... |

I mean ... |

Not bad |

Picturesque |
|
Obviously,
this is no common people's house. It's ONLY 2 acres in size.
If I were living in this house, a few runs to the bathroom could
have gotten me exhausted.
|
 |
Too
bad the modern surrounding is killing the view. Let's
pretend that we are short sighted. |
|
 |
 |
More
color ... |
|
 |
It's
real? Is it not real? Water and tower, reflection and
reality. Carp and willow. Shadow and light. Takes a while to realize this is
not a painting. |
|
Yes,
we may have electronic massage chairs, 16:9 TVs and all sorts of
goodies in our homes. But a close look at the house makes Kam
want to be an ancient man. |
Don't
think it was cave man age back in 1850. The hole on the
floor is part of the ventilation system that air conditions
the house in hot summer. If space age people think they are
better, think twice. As least there isn't hot air blowing
out from the other end of this ancient air conditioner. |
|
(I
haven't mentioned this before. Kam's grandma and grandpa
were born in DG city back in the 1910's. Grandma, after seeing
these pictures, told me her family was friend to Ke Garden's
family and she played in Ke Garden often when she was a kid.
It's her who told me about this ancient air conditioning
system.) |

 |
| Elegance
& detail. Sadly, the iron wood (not sure of the name
in English) and craftsmanship are near extinct luxuries. |
 |
 |
|
| Say
cheeeeeese ... oh well, only the teacher responded.
Never
mind.
