Spirit Away

Visited Jiu Fen this summer, it was the place where Director Miyazaki got his inspiration for the animation movie, Spirit Away. The mountain and the sky were just started collaging itself when the sun starts to set. Little red lanterns in row, unique shops next to each other, made you feel that you have been here before, yes, perhaps in your dream.   

Do you remember this in the movie?

I love this candy shop.

All Kinds of food. I wanted to try Pig Brain, but that was a little too much.

Inside of a restaurant, all antiques.

I feel that I just saw Chihiro running away.

I wish I could paint there all day.

Sadly they only open for a short amount of time.

And cheap little food that you have never seen.

Real tea shops.

I had a unforgettable night there.

A Beautiful Walk To Taiwan Before Sunset

I went to Taiwan this summer for the first time, all the beautiful images are still so vivid in my head that I want to share with you.

On a very vintage two floors bus. 

Here are the photos that I took in JIU FEN before sunset, an absolutely beautiful nature and traditional people and houses. I would love to live here if I have a chance. 

   

Beautiful traditional houses surrounded by greens.

Why do we have to keep building cities? These places are the real places that we can rest our hearts, look at ourselves. Everyday is so busy things pass by so fast now, it doesn't allow us to slow down, to think, to spend time with for ourselves. I would love to live, and have my kids grow up in this kind of places.

Beautiful textures that I love and I see them as patterns of nature.

 

Golden Water Fall

There is history.

Life is beautiful, don't you think so?
We have same amount of happiness and pain. If you scale up the happiness, you will see the positive side of things; if you scale up the pain, all you see and feel will be suffering.
It's a choice, a point of view.
