Here are a few views of the Great Wall

Ann standing on GW

Here is Ann posing to give a little idea of just how steep the steps are on the wall. The dots in the upper left corner are large buses in the parking lot.

 

 

 

 

 

View far down the Great Wall

Here is a view of the rugged terrain in area of the Great Wall. With this terrain you wonder why you need a Great Wall.

 

 

Ann and I on the Great Wall

Here we are posing (resting) again. It is hard to believe that the army road horses over the Great Wall. The horses must have been in great shape.

 

 

 

 

 

Sunset on the Great Wall

The sun is coming in at a low angle and we need to make tracks or we won't be able to see the steps at the bottom of the wall.
