Temple of Heaven in Beijing
I was surfing through some flickr photos looking for some interesting shots of Beijing, and this one just caught my eye. The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is a very colourful building. The thing that usually catches people's attention is the colours. Thus most pics you see of this building extenuate these colours. So what made me pick out this photograph, was the lack of colour. Though not a monochrome picture, this has a monochromatic feel to it. The lighting from behind has be perfectly executed and the detail throughout is fantastic. I have to wonder how this shot was taken. There are no tourists visible. Usually this site is crowded with tourists, but this photograph is devoid of people.
