First snowfall in 2011

Feb 12, 2011 18:15

I know North America has been continuously cloaked by snow in the past few months and even Georgia wasn't spared. As other cities in China, including Shanghai in the South, were plagued by snowfall, we've been experiencing a rather dry winter in Beijing. Well, it snowed after Chinese New Year on February 10 and I finally got a chance to wear my German waterproof hiking boots to work and around town without looking like an absolute nut.

I did not leave the apartment with a camera and only got home after dark so here is someone else's picture, taken from Coal Hill 景山 of the Forbidden City.



The photo is by Ray Zheng at Huansong Pictures. I copied the link from flickr and am writing his name here, hoping that I did not violate any copyright rules. Ray, I thought your work was beautiful and just wanted to share it!
