I’ve titled today’s photo ‘Forbidden Decay’ because it shows one small corner of the Forbidden City under repair in 1991.
‘Welcome Everyone, to the Forbidden City’ is what I imagine Chairman Mao’s portrait is saying to the visitors streaming over the bridge and in through the gates.
Today’s photo, ‘Hold on Tight’ was taken in Tienanmen Square in 1991. I’m not sure what the boy was watching – perhaps all us strange foreigners, perhaps another police squad marching from A to B.
There’s a couple of things I find amusing about the ‘No Drawing’ sign at the Stele Pavilion at the Ming Dynasty Tombs outside Beijing.
Today’s photo, taken on the ‘Spirit Way’ to the Ming Dynasty Tombs outside Beijing shows a novel way to keep your hat on – a large bolt! Of course, in western culture, the bolt ran through the neck (Frankenstein).
