This week’s photo challenge is Look Up.
It was an unique experience looking up the light well from down under in the temple in Angkor Wat.
The light well is sort of confined and lined with rugged stones on all four sides, like a shaft extending to the sky.
I felt I was down under in a well, looking up the sky.
Then I thought of the Chinese idiom:
If you are a frog sitting at the bottom of the well, you probably say the sky is small. Actually, the sky is not small, only because your width of vision is limited.
If you are a Summer insect, then probably we can’t talk to you of snow. Not that there is no snow, but because you perish before the snow appears.
The above is my translation into English while writing this; so this may not be the best of translation.
