T’ai Chi in the Park (June 16, 2012): Without an event photographer these days, McElroy Laoshi does the best he can. This photo was taken with his iPhone while he was facilitating an introduction to Wave Hands like Clouds  during a wonderfully clear morning at Shorefront Park.

In the Kwoon (November 18, 2012): One of the benefits of the storefront facing west at 29 South Ocean is the opportunity to watch the sun set.  The colors are sometimes beyond description.
