When I saw a friend taking a picture of this drain spout, I also thought it could make for an interesting photo. The spout is ornate, the shadow makes it a little dramatic, and the red is bold. We came across this scene on one of the inner walls of the Forbidden City.

When you visit the Forbidden City, there are several exhibits within the wall that you can visit. This photo, from one of the exhibits, is a tea canister. If I recall correctly, it is gold and is supposed to look like a lion.

Pictured in this photo is one of the many guardian lions that can be found in the Forbidden City. You can tell that this is a female guardian lion because she is playing with a lion cub with one of her paws.

I took this shot at the entrance of the Forbidden City in Beijing. I’m not sure if the the statue in the picture would technically be considered a totem pole or not. Reading on the internet suggests “no” but I only spent 15 minutes on the issue. Leave a comment if you know.
