... 1/5 de sa surface. Cela donne des formes naturelles auxquelles le sculpteur donne une signification en ajoutant le plus souvent un visage sur une silhouette drapée dans des replis naturels. Le résultat est souvent d'une beauté surprenante.
Donc à la semaine prochaine pour les photos.

Ensuite l'aventure continue à Pékin

The next day we were on a mission to find a GPS, if nothing else haqppened today, we needed to find a GPS. After too many dead end turns and bad leads to count, we had pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact we were not going to find a GPS in this city, so we headed for the motorway to head for the next biggest city, but as we were heading onto the motor way, by a massive stroke of luck we stumble upon a hardware ...
