Reprocessed Great Wall

[rpcrowe]

It is enjoyable to revisit locations vicariously when I am reprocessing old images with enjoyable memories attached. I can remember how cold I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and photo vest with the cold wind blowing in from the Mongolian plains

Here is one of China's Great Wall that I reprocessed using NIK Silver Efex Pro II

Very nice composition:-) Is it noise in the sky?

Nice angle.

Nice image Richard!

Much better to take the photo of the people climbing all those steps than to climb them yourself.

Like the composition and monochrome tone

Actually, I did not do a lot of climbing on the wall. The steps are pretty uneven and worn with age and so are my joints. I saw several people slip and fall climbing up or down the wall and did not want to be part of that grouping...

However, I found the steps of the great wall less chancy than those of the City Walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia. I climbed to the top of the wall in 100 F. heat and thought to myself, what the heck is a 73 year old guy doing up here?



I wonder though if the steps of the Dubrovnik Walls seemed more steep because I was 73 when I climbed them while I was only 70-years old when I traveled to China. At my age, I can readily see differences between a couple of years in age...
