floating flowers


2010 summer, I visited The Old City God's Temple in Shanghai. In a traditional Chinese Tea House where you can find many different tea , usually they store the dried tea leaf individually in the big iron cans and range by each different flavor behind the counter.

What amazed me is that they place 2 medium transparent plastic water-filled boxes beside the till, as you can see in the pictures
are many different shape of "flowers" floating gracefully in the water. Although I know its the chrysanthemum which made for the
chrysanthemum tea, still I thought it was a totally different visually sensation to me.

What a delightful smooth scence
