A small arched doorway begins a diagonal route through textured brickwork toward steep stairs and distant towers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalking the Great Wall with a camera was a life goal I had imagined for years. When I made this photograph near Beijing, the scale of the wall and its climbs gave me plenty to take in. I concentrated on a small arched doorway in the exterior brickwork, using that close detail as the beginning of a view that continues up toward stairs and distant towers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe doorway sits low on the left, with rough stone steps beneath it. From there, the broad face of the wall leads diagonally into the distance, where the staircase rises sharply toward the ridge. I like how this viewpoint allows individual bricks and mortar joints to remain visible while the larger structure unfolds above them. On the right, bare branches and scrub cover the hillside, providing an irregular texture beside the wall’s more deliberate lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn black and white, the contrast between the close masonry and the pale sky makes the ascent especially clear. The little opening provides a human scale, and the stairs draw the eye toward the much larger setting. For me, that balance of detail and distance is the photograph’s strongest quality. As a print for an office, library or a room with neutral materials, it offers a Great Wall view that starts with a doorway and expands into architecture across a hillside. There is enough texture to study closely and a strong upward movement to appreciate from farther away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2015\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571330420815,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592399552591,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40737305591887,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67593128673359,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40737305624655,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593955835983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40737305657423,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594694000719,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40737305690191,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595619139663,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40737305722959,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600645619791,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185704640591,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67596811632719,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185756479567,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805483139151,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804791046223,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804848291919,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747677143119,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Great-Wall-Arched-Doorway-and-Staircase-Black-and-White-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792883712","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/china-beijing-great-wall-exterior-doorway-black-and-white","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
