Mortared souls,
hold the line
Steely eyes,
search the mist
Foe’s approach,
ally’s step?
Cautious breath
prepared hand
Aroused pulse,
stokes the flame
Great Wall of China

That shot is a student favorite! 🙂 They love hearing about my experience on the wall and seeing the “real” pictures I took. It’s so much better than a textbook.
