Chinese Hat

Chinese Hat by Filmmaker Denis Carbone

The straw hat sat lightly on the table, but the wind carried a different truth.

“This is not a hat,” an old woman whispered as she passed.

She reached up, fingers tracing the woven fibers—only to feel them shift, twitch, breathe. The straw unraveled, stretching into thin, golden limbs. Tiny wings fluttered where the brim had been.

With a rustling sigh, the hat leaped from the table and scurried into the tall grass, vanishing like a memory you were never meant to have.

Seoraksan National Park

Seoraksan National Park

In the northeast of Korea lies the Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원). A colourful nature reserve with which is valued for its floral diversity. There are over 1000 species of plants known, with 822 vascular plant species. Pine trees such as the Siberian pine are abundant on the southern slope while the northern slopes of the mountain range are characterized by oaks and other deciduous trees.
I will upload more photos from the region, such as the Buddhist temples Baekdamsa and Sinheungsa.

Stay healthy!

Fujian Tulou

These buildings in China are a UNESCO World Heritage, since they are up 700 years old and still habited by the Hakka people.

I took this panorama of 12 photos on my last travel to China.
