actually there were a LOT of pple.....same for the day i went to the Great Wall......can't take a decent landscapish shot without tourists encoraching into the frame.......
so much so, i was thankful i didn't bring my tripod with me that day. I had to squeeze through crowds and the tripod would be useless there.....the problem is i went on a Saturday. Again, no choice since i was there to work, not play. Weekdays are stuck in office......
but this section of the wall was quite isolated, so i was able to get a clear shot of the beggar, alone, with the huge wall behind.
