Images: our host, Tom Becker, by Clayton Morgareidge, and A statue of Elephants in the North Park Blocks of Portland, Oregon. The placard reads: The young elephant standing peacefully on his father's back symbolizes safe and prosperous offspring. A replica of a wine pitcher from the late Shang Dynasty (circa 1200-1100 BC) this sculpture is about sixteen times larger than the original. The elaborate surface decoration features cloud-shaped curves and birds and animals from ancient Chinese mythology. Da Tung may be translated as "universal peace" or "large bronze". Xi'am Bao Bao means "baby elephant". A gift to the City of Portland from Mr. Hou Baozhu of Xi'an China as a gesture of goodwill and evidence of his belief in the importance of cultural exchanges.
