Wonders of the World (Foto Friday)
Not sure I can share too many more photos of the seven wonders but I may have misled everyone since technically the Great Wall of China is not one of the "Seven Ancient Wonders of the World" because the list was made up in the middle-ages in Europe before Euro-people had really been much to China and it included:
the Pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and The Lighthouse of Alexandria
the only one of these seven still standing is the Pyramids... but I persoanlly like to think of the Great Wall as a Wonder 
You can read about them here (if interested): http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/index.html
