Frozen in Time - Terracotta Warrior

One of Qin Shi Huangdi's Terracotta Warriors. Thousands of slightly larger than life-size warriors have been unearthed near the tomb of the First Emperor of China. Archeologists are painstakingly piecing these warriors together. The site, near Xian, China, is a fascinating place to visit.

Lost in the Fog - The Great Wall

I'm back! It was foggy and hazy much of the time, particulary on our trip to Badaling. A disappointing trip photographic-wise. No expansive views of the Great Wall. Black & White seemed to fit the mood of the day.

I doubt the handrails are original equipment :-)
