Lovely. Thank you for posting. It appears very large and even imposing. Was it so large in person?
It's about as big as a person maybe a little bigger. It has eroded some but is still very clear as you can see from this picture.
Thank you for your reply. A lovely picture. Certainly royalty comes to mind when viewing it, no wonder she is called 'Queen'.
Very nice. Do you travel yourself? Upped and followed :)
Yes we lived in Taiwan for over four years. All of the photos are taken by us.
Thank you @curie for including us in the current issue. :-)
