Harmony...not.

Beijing

I can’t believe my eyes.

This happened in Rome, when I rounded a corner to find the much sought after Trevi Fountain shrouded in green baggies and hurricane fencing.

It’s happening again. I’ve traveled half way around the world to find the Hall of Supreme Harmony—the largest, most spectacular of the Forbidden City palaces—in the same condition, draped in sheets of plastic, caged in bamboo scaffolding.

Bummer...........
