Snow

A view of the slopes at Thaiwoo.

Our eldest preparing to ski down from the hotel on our first day.

The year of the Rabbit is almost over.

Really nice to see this river flowing again. It's dry in summer and frozen in winter.

Beijing is gloriously sunny these days.

Bikes parked outside the exit of a subway station.

Half moon today. Half new or half old?

The last light of the day.

Looking out from the kitchen window.

The view from the noorthwest corner.

Sheets of snow being removed on the back of a tricycle.

One of the buildings in the Impreial Garden.

I'm glad that work to clear the snow hasn't completed. It was nice to see parts of the City still blanketed in white.

It always amazes me how many cars are here. You'd never know there was a vast underground carpark that was also full.

Heading out into the compound, still covered in snow.

Looking towards the Circular Mound with the sun low in the sky.

Looking away from the Circular Mound it felt like you had the place to yourself.

A view down a main walkway inside the west gate of the Temple of Heaven.

Giant rotating scrubbing brushes pushed back and forth along the pavements help keep them free of snow and ice.
