The Sky of Great Wall

It was an unforgettable night at the West Tower with Five Holes at

Jinshanlin Great Wall. The severe thunderstorms and lightening just

came suddenly, and the tower became our only shelter during the whole

night.

This photo was taken at the mid night of 4 August 2013. Both the

foreground and background of the great wall and mountains were greatly

lighten by a series of lightening that made them clearly visible.

The West Tower with Five Holes (西五眼楼 in Chinese) was built in 1599

with a masonry structure. It once had an important geographic position

in the old time due to its connection of the both east and west sides

of Jinshanlin Great Wall.

Thanks for viewing this image.

Fantastic capture Yan!

Beautiful scene presented to and handled well by a worthy artist. Well composed and processed, Yan.

Excellent!  Thanks for sharing.

What a captivating image. One can follow the meandering of the wall, then the horizon with all the mountain ranges and all lit up by lightening.

Absolutely mesmerizing.  Was this really taken at midnight?

You always have something different.  I have never seen the photos like this.  Great composition!  Best Regards,

What a fantastic shot; detail, composition, exposure, and timing.  Congrats indeed. 7 and another fav!!
