An enchanting ink-wash painting of autumn in southern Anhui.

· While I love the gentle summer days in the ancient towns of Jiangnan, I have a special fondness for the autumn scenery of the ancient villages of Huizhou. The horse-head walls with their blue tiles and white walls are already a natural ink-wash painting.
