Beijing Sculpture A.K.A. AbAtar

OK, a few people have asked what the heck my avatar is over at law.librarians. Since it is a little small over there, I thought I'd try posting a bigger version of the full photo. The photograph is of a sculpture in a Beijing park (I took the photo 10/2006).

The sculpture consists of an old, traditionally dressed, Chinese man holding a scroll, looking over the shoulder of a young, modern Chinese woman. The woman is working away on a laptop (I'd like to think blogging freely) and is wearing her cell phone around her neck. I love this sculpture!

I love how the part that's been most touched is the laptop screen.
There's probably something deep and meaningful to be said about that, but any deep thought escapes me!

That and her foot.... Thank goodness it's not in the U.S. or two other things would be very polished!
