The Great Wall of China

It was warm hazy day with a chance of rain, so not the best day for views of the distant mountains. However it was a wonderful opportunity to experience a piece of history. Built in the 1400's over a period of 600 years or more, to keep out the Mongolians. Parts of it were quite a challenge to walk as the steps were uneven and steep. Internet access is excruciatingly slow, it takes me over an hour to post one picture so please excuse my lack of comments.

Terrific pov - had a young friend who spent the year in China and had posted a lot of pictures from this area but not this long view. Wonderful. Her shots had that mist, too, so it must not be uncommon. Think it really adds to it. Fav

This is extra good seeing it from your eyes! Excellent focus and that misty look is to be expected! fav

[Rosie Kerr]

On the bucket list. :). What an amazing view. I really like the fact that our trudging traveler, heading up the uneven stairs, has a rainbow umbrella.

[Babs]

It looks quite a climb. Would love to see it in person.

[Judith Johnson]

@flowerfairyann Yes that's the wall disappearing over the mountains. We only walked about 5 sections between the towers.

Fabulous sense of the length of the wall, the variation in height, and the structure. Well captured! I haven't been to the wall in 22 years so I must get back!
