Inscription: 湖月照古木 In the month of March 2004, I had a chance to meet an architect employed by New Energy Works, Timber frame house builder. Oak trees Lake View Next are two related images and poems 松風吹解帶 山月照彈琴: Winds through pine groves blow and then loosen my belt, mountain moon beams my lute. 静夜思 Quiet Night Thoughts Now is the time to enjoy a famous Chinese Poem 床前明月光, 疑是地上霜。 舉頭望明月, 低頭思故鄉。 Quiet Night Thoughts, Li Po Bright moonlight before my bed; I suppose it is frost on the ground. I raise my head to view the bright moon, Then lower it, thinking of my home village. Next I tried to search my inscription 湖月照古木 from Google Search: I found four images of my own making Step 1 to click my own inscription Step 2 to click Full moon above our Canandaigua Lake Step 3 to click Rear view of the Lake home Step 4 to click the southwest view of Canandaigua Lake Wild Bunny eating a carrot Kwan Ho Chung - August 14, 2019 |

It was built by the Company, New Energy Works, 1180 Commercial Dr, Farmington, NY 14425, near our home.
This builder is specialized in Timber framing and woodworks.
The floors were purely made up of our oak trees.
I showed the house to a couple of guests two days ago, and they were very curious about the Chinese passage inscribed on the loft beam.
So for them, I worked at our webpage today.
Dr. Ohn, I discovered something totally unexpected.
I tried to get some poems and images related to this house and surroundings including trees, moon, and lake.
I casually opened Google Search with "湖月照古木 images".
Lo and behold! I did find the very photo of the passage on the loft beam.
I didn't insert it to Google search.
You might try the same passage, and then you will find it in the middle of many images.

The moon over the lake shows the shadow of an old tree...
Yes, I do feel the poetic inspiration on a quiet night with the moon and the lake.
You must be looking down from your house. So, I used to.
I used to live on a hilltop at the shore of the wide and quiet Ohio River in Kentucky.
I used to see the moon just like that reflected on the slowly moving water.
There, the river still flows into eternity. But not my life. And then, I was young.

Something happened in the past is like running water in a river. It flowed and flowed until gone forever. Why are you obsessed to your old gripe until now? It is not my saying, but Buddha’s teaching.
That was how Mother scolded me long time ago, and I was young then. But it’s like yesterday to me.
My past good or bad was like ripples in a river.
Am I getting profound?

First of all, I have to praise your house that has the beautiful lake view.
I am just curious who the builder was ? Is he a Chinese American ?
Anyway, it is wonderful presentation.
