Terracotta Warriors--These Really Were Lost and Found

Terracotta Warriors--Xi'an, China--January 2007

Lost and found in China

Todays photo comes to you from the lovely albeit polluted country of China.  I took this photo from a courtyard inside the city-wall of Xi'an.  The gaurds at the wall are decked out in somewhat medieval looking garb.  I was struck that looking out the exit you could see the modern city of Xi'an, but out in that modern mess a man was isolated in a different time period.  I also like that he turned as I took the photo so it looked as though he was trying to go back to the era from which his clothing came--inside the safety of an ancient wall.
