This weekend I decided to head up onto the Great Wall of China for some exercise. Trekking up and down the walls is a great way to get a head of steam going, and to also take in one of the worlds great wonders.
I chose Simatai, a place I’ve been quite a few times before as it’s incredibly beautiful and incredibly challenging for a trek. The day was not too fantastic (photographically speaking) but was “Ok”.

ray - I like the description of the outing, Rob, and especially like the unique take your pictures have on this spectacular place.
Hendra - Thanks for sharing, Rob.
China Great Wall is higher on my list of places to go. Hopefully next year I can go.
I imagine going there during winter would be very bad … but the photo opportunity could be great. Do you think so ?
Marc Holt - Great photos Rob. Hiking the wall looks like a strenuous exercise. How far did you hike?
Alister Benn - This is fantastic Rob, pleasing narrative with just the right tone, and a good selection of images which ably complement the words. Great job.
keith - Great photos Rob, thanks for passing on. How about a photo of the svelte Rob?
k@ - Geez, you know about “attitudes” yourself : either human or animal, Colors or not – love this one, generous sharing***
