This is one of the greatest masterpieces of Chinese landscape painting. When westerners first discovered Chinese paintings like this one, they could not see their value. To understand painting, you need to understand calligraphy. The character is not a picture of an object in the real world, but a symbol for an idea. As Chinese characters are symbols for ideas, so elements in a Chinese landscape, rocks, water, trees and mountains, became symbols of concepts. For the Chinese, pictures painted with a brush are symbols that carry both the surface meaning and additional hidden meanings. Chinese paintings are not just pretty pictures. They mean something.

Tom and his friend wanted to climb a mountain that no one else knew much about, so they were on their own way to the top of the mountain. They found a cave and turned on their flashlights. As they walked deeper into the cave, they entered a big room. The walls of the room were filled with drawings of deer, trees and people, done long ago. The drawings were clearly very old, but they were amazing. Tom took many photographs of all the drawings, and then he left with his friend, promising to come back. But two weeks later, th e cave was destroyed by an earthquake. Tom’s pictures were the only proof that the cave ever existed.

For thousands of years, human beings have been fascinated by whales. It is uncertain when, how or why the ancestors of the whale gradually moved into a purely aquatic environment. Freed from the gravity of the land, the whales evolved to become the true ocean beings of the planet. For most of our shared history, our relationship with the whales has been a distant one. If a memory remains behind the eyes of these gentle creatures, it is rarely if ever shown. Rather our first furtive attempts to enter the whale’s domain seem greeted with curiosity and a longing for communication and understanding.

But it can also bring short term disaster. The sea acts as a main store of the sun’s heat. There’s mo re energy in the top 3 meters of the ocean than the whole of the atmosphere. By pumping this energy into the air, the ocean is constantly influencing the wind. A principle that is demonstrated each year: the hotter the ocean, the faster the air above rises.
