Once More to the Wall

I visited an old friend yesterday. I visit the Great Wall as many times as I can, and it never disappoints. But on a clean air day in the crisp winter air, with a bunch of nice hiking buddies, there's nothing better.

A pretty sweet lunchtime view.

Great Wall builders gave up here. Did we find the end of the Wall?

So pretty.

Note to self: When you take a Great Wall selfie, make sure blowing hair doesn't obscure the Great Wall in the background.

The Wall ended so we decided to stop there for lunch.

Almost no rain or snow this year, which makes for an arid terrain.
