This photo was taken in Beijing, China in September 2008.
You don't see many churches in China. Buddhist temples are fairly ubiquitous, even in this supposedly-atheist, Communist state. But churches, not so much.
You walk across the grass to the church and - particularly on a sunny day like this one - you feel like you could be in the mediterranean somewhere. Only the sea of Chinese faces gives you a clue.

Beautiful photo. It looks so peaceful.
Awesome shot. I can't believe that China has a nice architectural catholic church.
Interesting. I knew there were churches there but for some reason my mind did not picture big and beautiful (and obvious) churches.
Ya, it is a beautiful church. By the way is this suppose to be St. Joseph catholic Church at downtown, Wanfuching street?
