The Great Wall

(Note: This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

I captured this image as a slide when I visited the Great Wall for the first time in 1987. I had climbed along the wall above the gate at Badaling (near Beijing), and was rewarded with the sight of the wall winding along the ridges and mountain tops. It was truly an amazing sight!

  There were relatively few tourists the first time I visited the wall, but there were more and more after that. I had four teaching stints in China and visited parts of the wall each time.
