北京西站

Some photos I took at Beijing West Station.

日坛

More photos I took at Ri Tan park of lotus blossoms.  They are going quickly so wanted to get a few more shots of them before they are gone for the year.

北京站

Below are some photos I took at Beijing Railway station this morning.  I like going there because there are so many different kinds of people traveling.  I hate hate hate taking the train but I do love the people I encounter at the train station.  They are interesting and some seem to have a difficult life.  Think of these people next time you have a rough trip, I bet it isn't as hard as the ones they had.

morning folk

A few photos of people up bright and early in Beijing.  You have to get up when the rooster crows to see these people out and about.

Color or black and white?

Which do you prefer,  color or black and white?  Color shows the vast array of hues that can depict emotion and feeling, black and white strips that all away so we are left with the spirit of the scene.
Which do you prefer?  Below are some photos that allow you to compare.

the Doors 2

More hutong doors.  I went out and took these this morning.  They are also being torn down.  It is a sad fact that most of the door and houses that I have taken recently are scheduled to be torn down.

Enjoy them while they are standing.
