Photographer’s Note

Tai Ji Quan - otherwise known as taiji
There are probably millions of folks across Asia practising Tai Ji every morning

I caught this gentleman practising his art one cold morning in the courtyard of a temple on a hill. The fluid motion of his stances and "katas" is visually very pleasing.

Very nice catch. I can't help but find his one really funny. It looks as though he's ballroom dancing with an invisible woman.

An interesting constrast between the concentration of this man and the women in the background who seem to knit

Hi Steely, you're back - I missed you, welcome back!! I love the compo and the body language here and yes....the gentleman looks very earnest but the effect is slighly comic. Very fine job, you didn't loose y'r touch :-)
Best regards from Rotterdam,
