- A fruit seller in the village of Youweizhen.
-
- Shahukou. This is an example of how the Great Wall some places is rebuilt in a modern style, instead of being restored to what it used to look like.
-
- The walking stick marks the place I decided to climb down the face of the earth erosion. At this time of year, the lose loess (clay and silt) often gives way.
-
- The morning after the dramatic episode on the mountain. I was happy to still be breathing. You can see my personal beacon transmitter and GPS on the tent floor.
-
- Difficult to portray three dimensions in only two. I had to follow a narrow sheep trail going up a steep cliff with a 15 metre drop to the right. At times like this, it feels very nice to have walking sticks.
-
- I hoped for a hitch on this vehicle, but under the slippery circumstances decided to wait for something with four wheels.
-
- This guy is a genius and has helped repair my rucksack and hip belt. We should have more guys like this on the street corners of Norway!
-
- These magpies were enjoying the sunset from a beacon tower by the Great Wall. They are a symbol of happiness in Chinese culture.
-
- It was a grey and windy day. The tripod and camera fell twice to the ground while taking these pictures.
-
- China has recently become the world leader of investement in green energy. Still though, both private consumers and industry rely heavily on coal.
-
- I met these happy guys next to a coal distribution center.
-
- This picture pretty much sums up China these days. You don’t go far without seeing something new being built.
-
- The Great Wall enters the flatlands north of Datong.
-
- Great Wall as far as the eye can see, in both directions 🙂
-
- The hotel wasn't open unfortunately.
-
- There must have been a proper building in this watchtower at some point.
