roof corner in Forbidden City Beijing

Animal ornaments decorate the corners of roofs. The more animals the more important inhabitants of the building. the emperors' quarters paraded nine or more figures while the concubines had to settle for only three or four.


On the far left is a dragon and on the right an immortal rides a phoenix.

Hi Tsilla,

Lovely and an artistic composition! I must say that not everybody can take such shot, and you did it in a special way. The colors are beautiful and the sharpness is great.

Well done!

kind regards,
