Hi! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks very amazing...
Greetings
Yvi
I am a dwarf as well.
ReplyDeleteWonder what's the significant of a Xian soldier holding a little girl's hand? Maybe the past meets the present kinda idea? I love the Qin dynasty. Would love to visit the terra cotta museum and the First Emperor's mausoleum one day.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for visiting and commenting.
ReplyDeleteYvi: It is amazing standing next to them. I wished I could've have seen them move.
Rainfield61: As so am I.
RoseBelle: You are correct, it is about past meets present and to spread friendship. The museum is huge and still so much more to uncover...
poeple are not only dwarfed, they are mesmerized!
ReplyDeleteI've come across an article about the Terra-Cotta Museum. Interesting. It's traveling counterpart came here in Houston, but I missed it. Good capture!lentig

Karen, that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI always think terra cotta is of the size of a normal man. Perhaps I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the show. Truly amazing!
