From a recently found Kodachrome slide of Peking -- as it was then -- in the 1970s, when I first got there.
The above is May Day 1977, half a century ago. I was very much taken by framing hard down, with little at the horizon, and lots of sky. A little too much so, in the one above, I reckon.
I converted the slide into a the digital above with Photomyne App. Not difficult at all, but couldn't have been done at all, just a few years ago.
I'll post the occasional converted slide from the seventies, if and when there's a decent one. Most of them so far are pretty ordinary, tbf. Still, they’re colour slides from the seventies in Peking. An historical time. Mao Tse-tung's death. The earthquakes. The overthrow of the Gang of Four. The revival of Deng Xiaoping. The beginning of the transformation of China. It all started then.
Here's the above, same day, Temple of Heaven, panned out a bit. People on both sides. Waiting for a VIP to go down the centre. But who?
