Dream Trip 2008: June

Great Travel Moment

This tranquil photo was taken at the crack of dawn in Beijing, China. I had waken up for a quick solo sightseeing walk when I came upon this scene. Everything was so still and calm, so different from the previous day's experience in a bustling and modern China. The bridge and its reflection amongst the lush nature was just too beautiful and serene to walk away from. I stayed still for literally 15 minutes after this photo was taken to immerse myself in the calm that would last with me for the entirety of the rest of the trip.
