Great shots! The first is so vibrant and colourful. Goes to show that sometimes the 'rule of thirds' can be thrown out!

萬哩城牆, 您好. (traditional greeting to the Great Wall)

I'm really impressed that you got shots of the Great Wall with so few (1 I think) people on it. I presume you went to somewhere other than the great tourist traps of Badaling?

Thanks guys. I got there very early, before all of the buses and tours which was great. The other person there was a friend of mine. We had a great time and consider ourselves very lucky.
