Quote from these famous first lines from Laozi, " Tao Te Ching " state that the Tao is ineffable.

The way playing chess is not the named you see
The moment here can be ineffable


Chess game you thinking you are the players or you are being played!
What about your life?

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.

The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge to the left and the right. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Before this, it was painted a chocolate brown colour.

Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream. A popular urban legend is that, in 1968 Robert McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge which was later shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, believed mistakenly that he was buying Tower Bridge, but this was denied by McCulloch himself and has been debunked by Ivan Luckin, the seller of the bridge.

The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (official Catalan name; Spanish: Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia; "Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family"), often simply called the Sagrada Família, is a massive Roman Catholic church under construction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Construction began in 1882 and continues to this day.

Originally designed by Antoni Gaudí (1852 – 1926), who worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to the endeavor, the project is scheduled to be completed in 2026. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have remarked, "My client is not in a hurry". After Gaudí's death in 1926, work continued under the direction of Domènech Sugranyes until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1936. (Source from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

patient with photography

hurry the result
you prefer instant
or choose waiting

I choose wait
no need hurry
good or bad

all comes end
rather more patient
is life training

last moment comes
stop taking photography
enjoy with you

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year 2008 農曆新年快樂, this year of rat (Chinese:鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Lake Louise, Banff, Alberta, Canada. Taken at September 21st, 2003.

Another Story from Lake Louise

How many things you would like to achieve this year? or next year? or whole life?
How many bad day coming this year? then next year? or whole life?
How many good things coming this year? and next year? or entire life?

The things I would like to achieve this year, next year or whole life?
....I will know in each end of the period! So I don't care. Just let it go.
The bad day coming this year, next year or whole life.
....I will know as 'Tao' saying it just the other side of the good things coming this year, next year or whole life. You couldn't find it at that moment. Just let it go.

....Bad day is not the bad day, just your heart cannot find a good day



The day, I visited Lake Louise, heavy snow and looked couldn't see anything beautiful. I wait and hold; and then listen. I found this scene. I found the happness in my heart to find this beauty. Not because of the scene, was because I found my heart was listening the beauty. Bad day is not the bad day, just your heart cannot find a good day.



Best view in large of Lake Louise, Banff, Alberta, Canada. Taken at February 13th, 2007.

In 1882, guided by a Stoney Indian, Tom Wilson became the first white man to discover what native Indians called "Lake of Little Fishes". He named his discovery Emerald Lake, but it was later changed by the Geographic Board to Lake Louise in honour of Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria.
