General

"This shows the beautiful marble Altar of Heaven, in the Temple of Heaven grounds near Peking. It is an estimated hundred feet in diameter, raised on marble pillars. Unbelievably, it formerly showed an occasional mark of vandlism, a tourist actually chipping off a piece of marble to carry home as souvenir."
