So, so many great shots posted here while I've been out of town to the Bay Area for my daughter Chelsea's commencement ceremony for her PhD in Astro-Physics from UC Berkeley. Very proud of her, and happy to spend 5 days with this busy gal and her beau, and meet his parents, who came out from Memphis for the event.
We did a little tourist-y sightseeing. Here are some snapshots from San Francisco's Japanese Garden at Golden Gate Park.

The Bromo trip did push the limit of my body. Frankly, I am out of shape
. The hikes were quite strenuous and the driving around in an uncomfortable 4X4 on rough terrain was tough. Twenty or so years earlier, it would have been better to do this trip. The guide and his 2 assistants we hired helped quite a bit though. They carried some of my gear and literally, pushed me and/or pulled me through the toughest sections and we rested quite a bit on the way up. Keep in mind that we had to do it while it was still dark to reach the point to do some astro photography, well before the sun was out. They picked me up at 2:00AM from the hotel. Yes, the view from the higher elevation was breath taking and it was worth-while. The following day, we climbed to a different and even higher elevation but more to the east. Too bad, the fog wasn't that thick in the second morning.
Now, that the trip is over, and I started to forget the aches and troubles, and while looking at the images, I seem to enjoy the trip more and more now
. It seems that you are age-wise younger than myself and you are in better shape, too. So, this trip shouldn't pose any issues. I can give you more info on the guide I used for that trip, Please send me a PM when you are ready.
The images of the Great Wall are spectacular. I have been to Badaling twice but again, not really on a photography trip without much preparation. The section you visited at Jinshanling is absolutely more intriguing and beautiful.That would be awesome Joshua - thank you I'll PM you tomorrow (past midnight here now).
I think age-wise we are not too far apart (I hit 60 this year) ? However I've lost 39 kgs over the past 2 years and hiking in the mountains of Nepal and China has definitely improved my fitness/health. I'd recommend it to most people.
Your trip sounds awesome and yes we tend to focus on the positives and generally forget the negative aspects of any trip or at least their significance lessens - such as my chronic insomnia at extreme altitudes (4,000 - 6,000m) !
Thanks again Joshua. Badaling and Mutianyu (better than Badaling) are fully restored sections of the wall. Jinshanling is partly restored (still has a cable car up though so that helps) but there are many other sections (of course - with over 6,000 kms of Great Wall !) that easily surpass them. I'll post some shots from Gubeikou and Jiankou later. Jiankou is terrifying .. and utterly superb. Take a look at this video of Jiankou in full screen (it's not mine - I took my drone but my video is not in the same league as this) I didn't take all of this route (I was way too terrified in places to do it all) but a lot of it :
it's really worth watching this 5 minute video - this is the Great Wall as you have NEVER seen it before !Thank you for the video, Kevin! I was speechless watching it; I watched it again and again. The video shows the advancement of camera-mounted drones at its best. The terrain where the section was built upon is incredibly steep and tough to climb, let alone to built a wall of that magnitude. At the same time it reminds me how many souls were lost for that over so many years and the incredible amount of suffering those folks had to endure, if they survived. It is simply mind boggling.
I am looking forward to seeing your images from those two sections of the Great Wall.

They do it every day and depending on the situation, it can be quite elaborate.Why are those beautiful ladies in your posted images always looking at me ? 
Lawrence,
Thank you! For lack of a clear and definitive answer, let’s just assume that there is mutual attraction. Here is another one for you then.

I was scouting a location called the Menger Hotel for a client for a work project early this morning. I took a few shots to add to my personal collection. Here is one showing the lamps and intricate granite carvings edited in moody black and white.

These are great. I've been using a flat bed V600 for scanning but would love to know more about your scanning setup. Seems like it would be a much quicker process and working with the raw files would be nice too...
Cheers,
