Passing the time...

Temporary graffiti. Yesterday I was walking through People's Park in Chengdu and came across a Chinese man writing beautiful old traditional Chinese characters on the ground. Just for fun. He was simply using a specially constructed pipe with a sponge tip on the end. After every couple of characters he would tip some more water from his water bottle down the end of the stick to moisten the sponge. The characters were written so perfectly and it looked beautiful - for no more than a minute and then the water dried up and his art form was gone. A Chinese friend told me he was writing about a Phoenix (bird) coming soon.
