魂是柳絮吹欲碎，绕天涯

[Moon]

风絮飘残已化萍，泥莲刚倩藕丝萦，珍重别捻香一瓣，记前生
人到情多情转薄，而今真个悔多情，又到断肠回首处，泪偷零

林下荒苔道蕴家，生怜玉骨委尘沙，愁向风前无处诉，数归鸦
半世浮萍随逝水，一霄冷雨葬名花，魂是柳絮吹欲碎，绕天涯

Hey, I think I took that 2nd photo and it was a day that I was in such pain I could barely walk. I had come to Beijing in a wheelchair. I think Leif and Moon were having a serious discussion about how to put up with me while we very slowly walked around. The day ended with rain and a bus ride back. I was lying on a seat in the bus and the driver said I had to sit up and I simply could not. I was ready to get off the bus and lie in the mud and Leif was going to get off with me and Moon was going on to try and get a taxi since we were in the middle of no where. The driver finally allowed me to continue lying down until we got somewhere. The rest of the journey is a blank for me. But I remember taking the photo because I loved the background and despite the pain I have many wonderful memories of the day.
