Huangshan, Yellow Mountains, Celestial Mounts…
From time immemorial millions climbed up its abrupt slopes, its steep and sometimes very narrow stairs.
The granite peaks, shaped by time and elements, float in a sometimes serene and cosy ocean of clouds, sometimes in an agitated and threatening one, appearing and vanishing such as ghosts to the liking of the whims of Chi Po, the Chinese God of winds.
The hundred-year-old or young pines, sculpted into bonsais by weather and the nature of the soil, soften the severe aspects of the rocks and of the abrupt cliffs by playing hide and seek with the clouds.
