EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the enchanting beauty of Beijing's Forbidden City at dusk. The North Gate and its surrounding moat are illuminated by the soft glow of twilight, creating a mesmerizing scene that transports you back in time. In the background, the modern CITIC Tower stands tall, juxtaposing ancient Chinese architecture with contemporary skyscrapers. The Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace, is an iconic symbol of China's rich history and cultural heritage. Its majestic walls and intricate structures have witnessed centuries of imperial power and secrets within its confines. As night falls, a layer of frost delicately blankets the moat, adding a touch of ethereal magic to this already captivating sight. The image perfectly encapsulates both tradition and progress in one frame - a testament to Beijing's status as a bustling capital city that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modernity. It serves as a reminder of how far East Asia has come while still cherishing its ancient roots. Photographer Ian Trower skillfully captures this moment in time, showcasing his talent for capturing architectural marvels through his lens. This photograph from Discover Images by AWL invites viewers to embark on their own journey through history and explore the wonders that await within these palace walls.
