The most important parts of Beijing's famed Forbidden City are being completely renovated for the 2008 Olympic festivities. The largest of its buildings, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, is entirely covered in scaffolding, giving me a chance to make an image never before possible -- people at work in the sky over the imperial palace. I find this ballet in the sky to be more incongruous and abstract, as well as richer in human values, than any post card view of the building itself. Most visitors were disappointed that they could not see this world famous building. I was delighted by the renovation – it gave me, as the saying goes, a chance to make lemonade out of a lemon.
