    Pic of the Day: Great wall at Simatai CN



    The great wall of China at Simatai. After ascending over 3000m from the drop-off point, my friend Colin and I were the only people around for miles.

    Great shot!

    In a country with sooooo many people, it's amazing to have that shot with just the two of you in it.

    Nice shot...

    The wall looks to be in bad shape where you're standing. I've read that it's really detoriating, due to tourists taking "souvenirs" when visiting. Is that true?

    If so, that's a real shame.
