Week 46: Shirts I did not know I had - Another Great Wall Shirt

This next set of shirts belongs to “I did not know I had these” category. I was exploring the pile for shirts that I have not yet featured and found a few that I missed. I guess that is why it’s called “The Pile”. To be quite honest, I found this in the “secondary site” – ala Jurassic Park.

This first one is another shirt that I picked up in China. It is another Great Wall Shirt, but it is a bit more “artsy” than the first one (see for yourself).

The design of this shirt reminds me of the desert. I imagine that this shirt was inspired by how The Wall looks like in the deserts of Mongolia. It even has camels on it (or at least, they look like camels). I know how great The Great Wall is – but this shirt made me realize how vast it is. The spot that we visited at Badaling was green and lush. It even rained when we were there. However, on this shirt, the Great Wall is in a brown background: quite the opposite.

The Great Wall spans many provinces in China and took several dynasties to build. At one point, it has been claimed that the Great Wall is “the only man-made structure that can be seen in space” (Although many have disputed that claim: check out this NASA article).

Regardless, it is an awesome experience to see here on Earth and walk (more like climb) part of it.
