[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Caught a glimpse of a busy market place while i was walking on the ancient city walls surrounding the inner city of Xi'an.

In early China, each city had a fortress-like wall that surrounded the city to keep it safe from invaders. The best preserved 'city-walls' in all of China are the Xi'an City Walls.

I will post the Xi'an city walls next so you have an idea of what i am talking about :)

A good photo journalistic shot Cyn. It shows the walls and the milling crowds within, and the note as well, explaining it. You have also included the street which I think, is thoughtful. Very subject matter and a lot less about the technical or its aesthetic.
