This photo was taken in the early morning on March 24th of 2013.
While I was holding umbrella and walking by the West Lake, I saw this interesting scene a few steps in front of me. So I clicked...
I did not stay long enough, so it is hard for me to tell if he was doing regular and routine exercise or just randomly doing stretching.
One way or another doesn't affect how interesting and cute within this image. It is also cute to catch those elder people holding umbrella and chatting with each other in a distance.
Artist Statement
This piece is a reprise of the allegorical scene I explored last night, but seen now in the uncompromising light of day. The mystery of the nocturne has given way to a stark, lucid clarity. The floating thoughts, the melting time, the impossible path—they are no longer elements of a subconscious dream but have become a memory of that dream, examined by the waking mind. The work questions what happens to our profound nighttime revelations when we hold them up to the sun. Do they retain their power, or does their dream-logic seem all the more strange and absurd? This is the same composition, but played in a different key: a lucid look at the strange landscape that felt so natural in the dark.

Carol Wallace, author of Leaving Van Gogh, read at the Sunday Best Reading Series on May 1, 2011 as part of the Persistence of Dreams program.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men of talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

La dernière fois que je suis venu, les salles de l'abbaye étaient remplies de sable. Je me demande s'il n'en reste pas des grains par terre.
"If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.""

This year, 2026 is the centenary of the formation of Zeiss Ikon, a major player in European camera manufacture in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.
To mark this anniversary, I've decided to use a different Zeiss Ikon camera every two weeks throughout the year, a project I'm calling “Twenty-six in Twenty-six”.
This was taken using the 115mm Pro-Tessar lens.
