Guardsman watching as people exit Mao's Mausoleum on the north side. Just off-camera to the right are several stalls selling tchotchkes, but you have to have gone through the Mausoleum to get to them or the guard yells at you. He even yelled at a couple of little old ladies (who were old enough to know Mao personally) who ducked under the ropes to get to them; they got to stay, though - never underestimate the power of little old ladies over teenage boys.

This is a wonderful image. Clean, crisp, interesting. Wonderful desaturation;)
