Macau pics

[kimpossible]

Bear with me. I'm trying out the attachments feature. Just a few pics from my excursion into Macau earlier today that I wanted to share.

This is from the Lisboa hotel and casino Avenide de Lisboa I was told to check out the gallery of sculptures they had upstairs. You have to check out the detail work! It's mindblowing. *sigh* Life before television I guess.

My favorite from this batch of photos is the wood carving. If you look at the bottom you can see the tree's roots as part of the design.

wait, are you in Hong Kong now? I'm working in Central.

Yeah, I got here like 4 am Sunday and I'm on a noon flight back to Taiwan tomorrow. Shit, I would have asked you to play hooky today if I knew you were already back here. I thought you were in the US still. I'll PM you with where I'm staying.

Wow, neat stuff. Are the carvings relatively recent commissions or are they antique/ancient acquisitions? Thanks for sharing!

Oh, I plan on boring you all to death with more when I get back home. In fact, my ideal scenario is to pack all of YW into a slightly musty, stuffy auditorium with creaky, uncomfortable chairs and subject you to a 4 hour slide show.

But to answer the actual question, to my knowledge they are true antiques.
