The Great Wall

Part of my series: Postcards From A Beijing Winter 

These are small detailed scenes from life in the Hutongs (traditional, lower income living) in Beijing, and other scenes and locations around Beijing. These are odd, little snapshots of daily life around the city. Much of life happens outside, despite the frigid cold temperatures. Notice the stark contrast between the sky and the deadened, winter grass. The winter yields more clear blue skies than the summer, and much less tourists upon the wall.
