A Penghu Stone Weir

Here is a very unusual card. It was sent by

Linnet Wu, who traveled here to celebrate finishing

University in June. The Penhu Islands (also called

Pescadores (Portuguese for 'fishermen') are off the

western coast of Taiwan. It has become a resort area.

Stone weirs were built by fishermen to catch fish.

They were built when tide was out and then the rising

tide would bring in the fish, which were trapped by

the outgoing tide. The weirs usually have only one

layer, but this one has two. People speculate that the

first one was built too deep and the fish were getting

away. Therefore, a second one was built and it

accidentally created the double heart shape.

Thank you Linnet Wu, for a very interesting card!
