A duck-shaped water holder. In China, Korea, and Japan ink was mixed personally by each writer. An inkstick or inkstone would be ground with a tiny amount of water to produce usable ink. The duck’s beak holds a lotus spray, which artfully conceals where the water would be poured from. This particular water holder is Korean, made with their famed celadon glaze. Circa 1100s.
One more photo of glaciers!

Looks like ice pieces in the sea but nope. Mantanuska Glacier still!

A lonely table in the midst of a glacier, feels surreal. Yet, it somehow complements its surroundings.

Denali National Park, Alaska 2017. One road that leads into the park. Leaving the rest of the area pristine and untouched. Wilderness beckons.
