Chariots and Horses, a photo from Henan, Central

Photographer's Note

Excavation in the Guo State Museum. The Guo state was destroyed 3000 years ago by the Ji Dynasty and the seventeen rulers were buried together with their horses and chariots. Wheels of the chariots and the horses' bones are visible here. The light was very dim and required a slow shutter speed which, hand held, was a challenge. A very worthwhile visit when in San Men Xia.

Hi Neels

Fascinating stuff. Good shot considering the conditions.

Hello Neels,

You've managed the light well against all odds. It's remarkable that any vestige of the original relics buried at the site have kept their form, that the wood has survived.

Warm regards,

Bulent
