The new web site is up and running so I thought I would re-vitalise the Blog. It is amazing it has been so long since the last post.
Today's post is about the Great wall.
On a recent visit to china, I was a bit disappointed that Beijing was covered in smog with readings in the high 300s and one day over 400, we were told the safe level was 150. Not sure what all the numbers meant but suffice to say on the day over 400, breathing was not s much more difficult rather you had to clean out your nose on returning to the hotel a bit more thoroughly.
The up side was the light.
The sunlight was filtered and dappled so reducing harsh shadows during the day.
this led to some eerie images. Beijing is a beautiful city with great heritage. it was a pleasure to see and photograph the buildings but I should have worn a mask....
The first two images were taken at 10:00am looking at the sun through the smog.
The next three are images on the great wall
