May 14, 2016 – [Saturday] Is this what you call art? – Stone dragon

Macau, China, taken on December 21, 2015

The stone carvings at the A-Ma temples in Macau depict a dragon that guards the main gate of the palace and are so delicate and full of detail. Things like this make me marvel at the way people create art and the amount of time that it must have taken to turn an ordinary pillar of stone into something spectacular like these carvings. I am genuinely awed.

May 12, 2013 – Red dragon

At Alan’s house, I saw this red dragon and I just couldn’t take my eyes off it – it was so cute! Then Alan, who is Welsh, told me that a red dragon is found on the Welsh flag. Why, and what does it symbolize? That’s another story for another day!
