Attribution information, such as the author's name, e-mail, website, or signature, that was once visible in the image itself has been moved into the image metadata and/or image description page. This makes the image easier to reuse and more language-neutral, and makes the text easier to process and search for. Commons discourages placing visible author information in images.
This photograph is part of a series of photographs created by User:Geraldshields11 between 13 September 2012 and 24 September 2012 in various places in the People's Republic of China, as part of the Wikipedia Takes DC!, a photographic scavenger hunt that is part of the Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 competition. Since there is no Wiki Chapter in the PRC, I decided to take photographs during my travels there for Wikipedia.
