Young … and old

January 6, 2009

I also can’t resist posting these pictures, of young…

This girl (the same as in my previous post) patiently stood still for all of two seconds while I took a quick snap, inside Beijing's Confucius temple

… and old.

This friendly man, 85 years old, was waving at passers-by while sitting outside his home in one of the hutongs near Yonghegong lama temple

I can only imagine what old has seen in his lifetime, and what young will see in hers.
