Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Beijing Castle in the Boxer Rebellion

Reason: High quality, nicely colored (as opposed to all the black and white stuff for this period) image depicting an attack on Beijing Castle during the Boxer Rebellion. Big meaty EV, cool picture, good stuff all around. This is a restored version of this original. For those with slow connections, please check this courtesy copy but remember that that version is heavily compressed.
