Courtyard

We had a storming night and the thunders were fierce. This is the photo I took yesterday. I love Chinese courtyard. To accommodate a billion people, this type of housing is almost wiped out and replaced by the high rise apartment.

@ksyu @angelat The round door is called a Moon Gate, Romantic, isn’t it? Inside it, You may feel as if you are in another world.

Beautiful courtyard. Love how yor eye is led right into the picture. The red on the roof top is especially colourful.

this really is wonderful.....no doubt a private oasis when one goes through the Moon gate.....

Too bad they are taking these down for modern buildings. Lovely.

I love the shapes in this and the courtyard seems so peaceful. Such a shame that these places are disappearing.

From what I remember, the courtyards were absolutely huge. This one looks well maintained.

What I love about this entrance is the tunnel like other world that it is taking you into. I just love that circle that encapsulates the beauty beyond.

Lovely garden- a place to sit and enjoy the sun and sky.
