Royal Courtyard Photo: A building in the Forbidden City. I'd beaten the crowds into the Forbidden City by purchasing a ticket the night before but in an effort to keep my photos people-free, I hastened my workflow to stay one step ahead of the advancing tourists. As a result, I didn't take notes on the buildings I photographed. If anyone knows the name of this building, please leave me a comment or shoot me an email.
