First day in rainy Beijing

When we arrived, it was raining.
The National Stadium was decorative even in a fog and rain.

It was raining still in the Summer Palace, but the gate there was beautiful.

Those roofs and ceilings were incredible, skilfully decorated.
Unfortunately rain made my photos blurred.

Small figures on the roof show power and a high status of a inhabitant. More figures - higher status.

728meters ( 796.2 yards) ) long corridor ( Changlang ) with 8000 paintings inside it - wonderful to see.

I am so sorry, I did not get a proper photo from the paintings of the corridor. This is a hint about them.

lifeisgood Your shots are beautiful. I loved the Summer Palace..so sorry it was raining when you visited. When we were there everyone was dancing and singing. It was such a fun place to visit.

Abraham Lincoln The last two or three photos, while not as elegant and colorful as the others, inspires me a lot. I like those kinds of scenes.
