The Great Wall Mist

Description

We visited the Great Wall of China at the end of our trip and (of course) decided to do it in a non-tourist fashion.
Travelled around 150km out of Beijing to meet a very kind and friendly gentlemen - Mr. Sun, who walked us to a place (on the Wall) where we could spend the whole night. Thats right. We actually slept on the wall - which was fun, but cold and eventually ended with some flu. But... At 5 a.m. the views where simply amazing...

It is an amazing talent to be able to make such a beautiful and original photo of a world-known architectural wonder such as the Great Wall of China.
Looking at this it gives me the feeling as if I'm standing there myself, surrounded by the fog.

Even with the fog wrapping itself around the lower parts of the Great Wall the viewer is still able to see the greatness of the Wall, how far it stretches across the land.
This could easily be a shot from a (historical) movie... picturing the beauty (and maybe even romance) of China even though it is well known that the story behind the building of Great Wall is anything but romantic...

There's one thing that leaves me to wonder with this photo... how would this scene look in it's natural colors??
