A detailed, eye-level shot captures a large, antique bronze statue of a mythical tortoise with a dragon's head, prominently displayed on an ornate stone pedestal. The creature's shell is textured with segmented patterns, and its powerful legs end in clawed feet. Its long, scaled neck rises to a fierce dragon head, complete with horns, whiskers, and an open mouth revealing teeth. The bronze has a weathered, dark green patina, suggesting its age. The pedestal is made of light-coloured stone and features intricate carvings on its tiered base and top surface. The statue and pedestal are situated on a stone balustrade, adorned with carved pillars featuring cloud or scroll designs. In the background, the vibrant colours and traditional architecture of what appears to be the Forbidden City in Beijing are visible. Buildings with bright red walls and golden-yellow tiled roofs stand under a slightly overcast sky. Distant figures of people, some holding umbrellas, suggest a tourist attraction.

The Forbidden City was forbiddingly cold on this clear day in February. (Beijing, China).

As one more string to this country I knew was home was cut over the weekend… I just miss it more. This was taken a few days before leaving three years ago.
