Summer Palace, Beijing, China - a photo on Flickriver

            Nikon D90
It was the first sunny day after the long rainy weeks. Grabbing my new Nikon D90, I rushed to the Summer Palace by bike to catch this evanescent beauty.

When I was little, my dad and I often rode bicycles along the bank of Kunming lake, of course it is not allowed now. I learned riding bicycles just in this park. In the winter, my dad even took me to the icy lake to ride.

I spent a large part of my childhood in this peaceful park. Each time I went there I felt something new, but I would always remind of the carefree youth time, with my parents, my grandmom and my fellows, some of whom have been missing for many years. Each time I looked at the mountains far away, as if seeing my lost youth hiding among them, giving off a scent of sweet and a little bitter.
