EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Figures On The Roof Of The Summer Palace" by Ian Cumming transports us to the heart of Asia, specifically China's enchanting capital, Beijing. The image captures a close-up and intricate detail of one of the many ornate buildings within the historic Summer Palace complex. The architecture is nothing short of breathtaking, showcasing traditional Chinese design with its tiled roofs and elaborate ornamentation. As we zoom in on this particular structure, we are drawn to the figures gracefully perched on its rooftop. These young adults seem almost ethereal against the vibrant backdrop of blue skies and lush greenery. The Summer Palace holds great cultural significance as it was once an imperial retreat during ancient times. Its construction involved meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, evident in every nook and cranny. This photograph beautifully encapsulates that essence. Beyond its architectural marvels, the Summer Palace also served practical purposes for emperors who sought solace amidst nature's beauty. It is said that they would come here to relax and even engage in activities such as herbal medicine preparation - symbolized by a plate filled with various herbs visible in the foreground. Ian Cumming's photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and tranquility found within this iconic landmark known as Peking's (Beijing) vernacular masterpiece – a testament to China's rich history and enduring architectural legacy.
