The Great Wall in Yulin Desert
An original watercolor painting by Sowerby, April 25, 1908, reproduced in
Through Shên-Kan. Just prior to the Clark Expedition, Sowerby joined the
Duke of Bedford’s Zoological Exploration in Eastern Asia with Anderson to
collect animal specimens in the Ordos desert. The fortress shown is on the
northern section of the Great Wall on the borders of Shaanxi and Ordos, which
are three miles north of Yulin.
The Great Wall in Yulin Desert

A Fort in Zhenbeitai, Yulin, Shaanxi. January 4, 2009 Renovated in 1990. Sowerby used to do his sketching and paintings just to the left rear of the photo. A dog was barking ferociously at me when I stood on the roof to take these photos, so I could not get closer to his viewpoint.

While having a break in the desert along the Great Wall in Yulin, I spotted this small insect; the tracks it left behind … how like mine. The way is ahead, so let’s continue step by step. April 8, 2009.
