Bamboo Delivery, Taiwan Style
Posted on April 17, 2015
April 13, 2015, Mr Ye makes his delivery of bamboo to House 100, in Cheng long, Taiwan, for artists to use in their sculpture installations for the 2015 Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project.
Using bamboo, a sustainable fast-growing plant in Taiwan, is an important part of many artists’ environmental artwork for the Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project. To learn more about the project, go to https://artproject4wetland.wordpress.com
Here is Mr. Ye.
Mr. Ye arrives alone in his flatbed truck loaded with bamboo. He does not carry any mechanical lift to remove the bamboo.
Mr. uses wooden blocks that he places under the back wheel opposite the side where he wants the bamboo dumped.
Mr. Ye backs the truck up onto the wooden blocks, and the bundled bamboo rolls off.

Panoramic of the Xilou Bridge – Yunlin County, Taiwan
Posted on April 12, 2015
Xiluo Bridge was rebuilt in the 1950s by the U.S. and the Republic of China. I was previously built by the Japanese but they took much of the steel to support their war effort during WWII. The current bridge was designed by the same architect who designed the Golden Gate Bridge, The Xilou Bridge is almost two km long.
