This was taken about this time last year at the Summer Palace in Beijing just after it snowed. I realise that it isn't very good technically, but I've been using it on my desktop for months so I thought I'd share it anyway. Originally it was 4:3 but I cropped it to make it 16:9 as I thought it looked better that way.
edit: To clarify I was standing out in the middle of a frozen lake, which is why it's all so white and empty

One thing that catches my attention is such a large open expanse. With all the white it seems endless. Surreal quality.

I am wondering if that is frozen lake or just that much space all around. So much snow. Wow. I like your photo. And I'm glad you posted it. I hope you'll post more. Verena

I put this on my desktop and I can see why you have posted it it has a quietness about it I could not live with it on my desktop all the time but it does make a nice change
Thanks for showing
