Great Wall
Here are a few views of the Great Wall

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.

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.

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.

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.
Palace of Heaven
The Palace of Heaven is where the Ming Dynasty emperors came to consult with heaven to know what would lie ahead in the coming year.
