Badaling Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Another shot of one of the seven wonders of the world, taken at Badaling, supposedly one of the most touristy sections, to visit the Great Wall of China. I liked the aerial perspective of the mountain ranges here. Taken on a hot summer's day, at the beginning of June (36c).

Hi Chris, thisis an unusual perspective of the Great Wall, and I like the shades of green in the background mountains. Your shot gives a good indication of the scale (width) of the wall. Nice one!
Regards,
Ryno

Hello Chris,
I like the point of view here showing the wall snaking away into the mountains ad getting smaller and smaller. The people struggling up the steep slope add dynamism and give a good sense of the scale of this massive structure. Very good colours and clarity.

Wow!
It is very famous place! I never been in China. It is for me very pity. It is very interesting view. Good colours and light. I like your architecture and your people.

Hi Chris,
A good POV to get the long wall and surrounding hilss and a close up of all the visitors climbing under the strong sun! Colors and sharpness are excellent. IT feels as if we also are there looking down!
Nice
