Beautiful photos today, @slowwalker, of a stone tortoise stele.

These monuments represent eternity and I think it fitting that this particular tablet statue was rescued from the sands of time and reflects the influence and cooperation of two distinctly different dynasties.

Turtles were respected as harbingers of good fortune and appropriately this monument had the good luck to be completed by two separate dynasties, otherwise this beautiful artwork would be lost to history.

It gives hope that our culture and thought will endure and be enjoyed by posterity.

Have a good day, my friend :)
