I was in Beijing for a few days with a few colleagues:

Here is one of my colleagues who I have worked with for a few years

The first night we arrived, we took a trip to Tianemen square and then went to a Peking Duck restaurant. Thsi young boy had been pointing his toy gun at us so I grabbed a shot of him with his torch:

A few taken from my hotel room in Beijing on the final night. The moon was quite a dark orange and I didn't change the auto white balance as changing for Tungsten would have made it white which because of pollution levels being higher that night reflected the streetlights would have been inaccurate

Two more, which are slightly experimental as I tilted the camera to get a shot where the road ran diagonally through the shot:
