Ao - the World Turtle

Ao [鼇]

02 Jan 2009 334
In Chinese tradition the creator goddess Nü Gua cuts the legs off a giant sea turtle (Ao) and uses them to prop up the sky after Gong Gong damages Buzhou Mountain that had supported the sky. Researchers of the early Chinese mythology also note that the flat undershell and round domed upper shell of a turtle resembles the ancient Chinese idea of a flat earth and round domed sky.

Horses at 'my' Tor

29 Dec 2021 54 34 708
A tor, which is also known by geomorphologists as either a castle koppie or kopje, is a large, free-standing rock outcrop that rises abruptly from the surrounding smooth and gentle slopes of a rounded hill summit or ridge crest. In the South West of England, the term is commonly also used for the hills themselves – particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. So this herd of horses just came freely to the rocks we've been visiting. I know very little about horses, but these whites were probably another breed than the usual Dartmoor pony, that are walking freely and help to give the area its unique character.
