Summer Palace Architecture (China!)

[echoyjeff222]

Hello all! I just got back yesterday from a LONG DAY at the Summer Palace over here in China. Overall, it was a mixed experience. The architecture and landscape was pretty amazing, but it was a steamy 100F with crowds upon crowds of people.

I extremely enjoyed the architecture of the place - I hope that you do as well! Here are three pictures that I took. I will post some landscape shots a bit later.

I really LIKE how you photographed that summer palace!
The middle one gives a good impression of the building, and we neither see the "crowds upon crowds" nor the steaminess (is there such a word?) in the air. Nice!

Wow, great colours and rich tones. No wonder the roof caught ur attention!

great stuff. as has been said, well done on finding an approach to avoid the crowds. great colours and composition, love the geometry in the third one.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad that those painful minutes of arching my neck upwards in front of random tourists (who probably thought I was crazy) to take those two closeups was worth it
