CJ Kurth writes: This picture was taken on the campus of Peking University in Beijing, China. My coworker who was showing me around said I should take a picture here as it is a very famous lake in China and that most Chinese would recognize the location. The tower seemed like a perfect backdrop. I asked him what the name of the lake was, he said "the lake has no name". After taking the picture I asked what the tower was used for, he said "it was made to hold water". A water tower in front of an unamed pond... maybe we should have seen the great wall instead.
