The Great Wall
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
I took this picture of a watch tower on the Great Wall on my second visit to the wall in 1990. The watch tower overlooks the pass at Badaling north of Beijing. I thought sepia is a good effect for the Great Wall.

I agree about the sepia. Makes it look so timeless, which the Great Wall is.
The sepia is perfect in this photo! I imagine seeing the Great Wall must have been a thrilling moment! Wonderful photo!
What an amazing sight!
The great wall is always the greatest, be it in your photo or in the actual world.
That must have been really great to walk the wall. I'd love to do that some day.
Beautiful effect George! It's timeless architecture at its best.
This is a nice shot in any color.
A nice shot, I do like the sepia.
Wonderful in sepia, George. I'm sure this looks a lot like many truly old photos of the wall.
WOW! You've been to China twice?
Is there anywhere you have not been? I think it is wonderful how you have had the time to travel and enjoy life.
Sepia is perfect for the picture. I can only imagine how awesome it must be to see the Great Wall in person.
Sunny :)
Sepia is the right selection for this photo. Recently I saw a document from this historical wall in China in our television.
I like Your photo George, it is gorgeous.
