Essay:

"On November 20, 2010, I visited friends in Taichung at noon and left for Yehliu, Keelung. Whoa - I hadn't been here for such a long time, but it seemed a little different than I expected. On our way to Yehliu, the sky was cloudy, and a light drizzle was falling. Fortunately, the sun was out when we arrived. We went toward the beach in a hurry to see the extraordinary sights created by nature. It was Queen's Head that I haven't seen for ages. I intended to get closer to her, but she was roped off. Visitors are not allowed to touch her. However, I found a perfect angle to look at the line of her. It still remains elegant and dignified. How long has she been standing here? Perhaps she has been here earlier than Taiwanese aborigines! Under the political dispute at present, she is the only one who protects Taiwan without any complaints. The sun was about to go down. Queen's Head looked stately and sweet when sunset was shining over her. Therefore, I used cotton to capture the refined lines of her."
