This is a view of the external side of the Forbidden Palace in Beijing. Its a much more serene sight than in the grounds itself. China, 2008.
Another shot of the grounds of the Forbidden Palace from the outside. It was a very gloomy day in Beijing, so it was ripe for a black and white conversion. 2008.
Such an unassuming sight - but this was the location of a scandalous and tragic event - Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Looks so different today with no sig of the atrocities of that day decades ago. 2008.
