Daily App Experiment #336 "Evaporation" - inspired by the fog. Created by running an image through #psexpress's rainbow filter, then creating three versions of interlaced images using #interlacer (at different thicknesses). Then layered those in #filterstorm. #daily_appsperiment #appsperiment
It was time to bid farewell to the Great Wall, and to China itself.
As the Sun sank lower in the sky, it was sadly time to descend down to the valley and travel back to Beijing. The following afternoon, I made my way to the airport to catch flights from Beijing-Shanghai-Sydney-Canberra - arriving home after 18 hours in transit.
It is quite a hike up to the Great Wall at Mutianyu from the valley car park that is at the level of the surrounding plains. The elevation of the Great Wall along the Mutianyu section varies from around 500 m A.S.L. at the lowest point to over 1000 m A.S.L. There is a chairlift linking the car park and the Great Wall that allows you to bypass the steep footpath and to better enjoy the view. This photograph was taken from the chairlift looking west towards the coastal plains on my way back down.
The view was magnificent - but I can tell you it was quite chilly! When back down in the valley, I managed to find a shop that served coffee and was still open at this late hour. I couldn't really tell you how good the coffee was, but the hot drink was just what I needed to perk me up for the bus ride back to the hotel. There was plenty of chatter during this trip back amongst my colleagues from various Chinese organisations plus CSM, the USGS and UBC - a sign of a enjoyable shared experience.
When nearly back to the hotel, we went past the site of the 2008 Olympics. The Birds Nest Stadium (Beijing National Stadium) and the Water Cube (Beijing National Acquatics Center) were lit up in red and blue respectively, forming quite a stunning scene in the early evening darkness.

The graceful sweep out along the wing to the winglet on a Boeing 737-800 jet aircraft. Qantas flight QF872 en route from Canberra to Sydney from the emergency exit row. This view brings the familiar words of the pre-flight safety briefing to mind - "... then step onto the wing and follow the arrow towards the rear of the aircraft."
By the way, the winglets are added to disturb the laminar flow over the wing and, somewhat counter-intuitively, reduce drag. They also serve to improve the handling characteristics.

Today’s run was, miraculously, completed entirely within the only two hour period with no torrential rain. The light on the Weaver was lovely, and these snatched shots just don’t do it justice.

A selection of jewelry from the more than 200 items unearthed from the Ding Ling Tomb.
Ding Ling is the only one of the thirteen Ming Dynasty Tombs that has been excavated. Some of the treasures are on display at the Changling Tomb, inside the Hall of Eminent Favour.
The inscription on this display read ...
"The Majority are hair pins and eardrops; made with gold, silver, pearl and precious stones. The patterns on these items are mostly of good luck and happiness. The workmanship is superb, almost reaching near perfection."
I love the final part of this!!

“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.” Psalm 23:1-2
Because we had a cold and miserable Spring, I am not going to complain about the current heat wave we are experiencing. However, I rarely sweat in the heat, and tonight while walking Rusty even my face was perspiring. The humidity was intense and the temps were breaking records. Heat warning in effect.
