Summer Palace - Beijing

---

Seven hours at The Summer Palace - new Beijing old Peking.

An entire day of changing Winter light

A tree with bark rubbed as smooth as a banister rail in an old Tibetan temple.

old lotus flower stems sticking out of a frozen lake, dried lotus heads resting on the surface

low winter light beams across floors, through latticed windows and in between trees

Calmness

A shadow leaving a room
