Painting with Water

Changsha City, Hunan, China

A man doing Chinese calligraphy on the granite pavement with a simple Chinese brush and water. That's right WATER!!!

Obiously he cannot use paint or any pigment because that would be vandalising a public property. When the water dries, his work will vanish - gone forever. But he was able to express his artistic self, even for a brief moment.

It kind of reminds me to appreciate whatever we are experiencing today because nothing in this world is permanent. Each is a fleeting moment . . . painted with water . . . life as it happens
