Photos with a story to tell
Photos with a story to tell
Here is an assignment for photographers to post photos that have a story attached to them. This is my contribution:
After I was in China for about 4 months I travelled with a colleague to Beijing for a weekend of sightseeing. Since neither of us knew our way around we joined a small tour group. It took us to Tian'amen Square, The Palace Museum (Forbidden City), The Temple of Heaven, The Summer Palace, The Ming Tombs and The Great Wall and I took many photos in all those places. One thing that was very interesting is that on antique or vintage public buildings the roof lines are quite similar, and on the gables they placed small statues of animals and legendary beings. Depending on the importance of the building they vary the number of images, and on the most important ones such as the Palace in the Forbidden City they placed the maximum number of 11 such statues. I don't know the significance of the individual statues, but I guess that the leading one of a rider signifies the leader, or Emperor in this case. Here is a photo of what I saw:
Now let's see YOUR story photos.
