The image shows a view of a large, traditional Chinese palace complex. The photo was taken from a slightly elevated point of view, looking down onto the courtyard. In the foreground, there is a stone bridge spanning a moat filled with still, blue water. The bridge is lined with a low white stone railing. To the left of the bridge, two people are walking away from the viewer, the person in front is holding an umbrella. To the right of the bridge, there is another stone wall, curving away from the viewer. On the other side of the moat, there is a large complex of buildings with red pillars and golden roofs. The buildings appear to be at least two stories tall and have many windows and doorways. The roof is adorned with intricate details in blue and green. The sky above the complex is a bright blue with white clouds.
