http://hahn.zenfolio.com/p382112314 These images are derived from a very rare Russian publication with original photographs pasted on stiff textured paper. The transcribed title is "V Kitaiskikh kumirniakh gor. Ashikhe" (Temples of the City of Ashikhe); it was published in what must have been a very small print run in Harbin in 1925 - I have not seen another copy to date. I have been in possession of a (good) copy for almost ten years, but only now found the time to scan and post-process all 32 photographs. The photographer's name is cited as D. Raninin. <br/><br/>As far as I was able to establish, this Daoist abode named Wenchangge 文昌阁 does not exist anymore as such. It has either been neglected/destroyed, or repurposed. However, the place name is still in evidence in Ashihe 阿什河 (now Achengqu 阿城区, a district of Harbin 哈尔滨 since 2004). This may well be the only existing visual record of the old structure and its Daoist and lay caretakers. It is a rather comprehensive coverage of the site as one goes through the well-annotated images. Perhaps somebody in the not so distant future will be kind enough to assist with transcribing the Russian-only image captions into English &amp; Chinese. <br/><br/>Scanned on the Epson 4990 to 400dpi TIF, then individually processed (converted to greyscale, level, contrast, sharpness and other adustments) in Adobe Lightroom 2.1. <br/><br/>Thomas H.
