The Last Arch

Our museum is almost complete, well the last arch is being constructed.

Also the outside skin is covering over the whole structure.
The inside form is quite awe-inspiring.
The scale inside is deceptive and the feeling is epic and timeless. Such a beautiful series of complex curves.
A person is about as high as the small rectangular brick insert to the bottom right

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, firings are happening.
We are all exhausted, but feeling great and looking forward to a night stay in Xi'an Sunday/Monday to see the tombs and the buried warriors (yet again) and a night antique market.
Genuine Antique in China really means made a long time ago, like yesterday,
