As the Olympics approached - this photo was taken 6 days before the opening, Beijing managed to produce a clear blue sky day. This image is from a walk way near the Forbidden City and leads to the main gate entrance. The water here flows past that entrance. This area was enhanced but has served as a walkway for more than two dynasties - the Ming and Ching periods. Being this close to the Forbidden City, only select people could walk this way durring those periods. Today it is open to all. I invite you to explore other photos in my collection on China and let me know which ones interest you.

Hi David,
Beijing sure looks different to when I was there in April, all brown and dusty.
Lovely image, shows the typical Chinese perfectly.
Very good composition and POV, including the foreground boat works very well.
cheers
Peter

Hello David,
being a fan of reflections (especially in water) I couldn't "pass by" this image :)
I wish I could step into the photo and stay there a little bit. Beautiful place, wonderful reflection. I'd make the image a bit less sharp but it's my personal view...
The composition is very good: the rock in the foreground (in the bottom left corner) is a good balance for the boat and the bridge - the three make an interesting triangle. Besides, the rock (small boulder?) emphasizes the foreground, even though it's in the shade.
best regards,
Elena

I imagine blue skies must be rare ;)
Great composition you have, a bit over sharpened in the leaves, but very nice colors on this peaceful scene.

Hi David,

This is a great picture showing everyday life in China. I like the composition, light and POV. Also, your note helps us to appreciate this photo even more for the beautiful clarity of the shot. I would hope that the Olympics will inspire Beijing to continue with this trend of keeping the environment clean.

Hello David,
Lovely venerable bridge and reflection.
Very good composition,POV, and colours.
TFS, Joni

Mit freundlichen Grüssen
