Response to "Kuo Hsi’s 'Clearing Autumn Skies'"

I love the detail in these scrolls- they really seem to pull me into the place in the picture.  I have actually collected a few mimic scrolls of this kind to hang in my apartment and room and, while they are not 900 years old, they still hold the same wonder and capture of this orginal "motion pictures."  I found the author of the article to go a little overboard in his writing.  I appreciate his enthusiasm, but spending multiple paragraphs describing every little detail of the scroll took a little bit of the fun out of exploring the location for myself.  But the scroll is a beautiful representation of a location and the author did a good job describing the importance of the medium, as it was back and then and today.
