The Great Fence of China goes on and on…

The Great Fence of China goes on and on…
On thé Pamir Highway at around 3500 mètres of altitude in the middle of nowhere in Tajikistan, the Great Fence of China (border )unrolls for a few hundred kilometres keeping out no-one in this vast desolation. It is surreal to see.
I hope your Friday is gentle and kind, and your weekend peaceful.

Its quite amazing how long this great wall (fence) is. A pointless exercise in politics. Nice Shot though. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

What an absolutely breathtaking mountain landscape, Diana!
It's fascinating to observe how some Chinese people seem to exhibit a particular affinity for the mystique of the surreal.
Best wishes for a pleasant and peaceful weekend to you, too. ox

We have fences here in Perú like these too, But they are against the wandering sanddunes. Could this be one like ours?

Diana Australis club has replied to Eva Lewitus club
I am not sure. This is at least 1000 km long and runs alongside the Pamir highway at an altitude of 3600-4800meters. No one lives here apart from occasional summer dwelling shepherds with flocks of sheep. We saw no person, building or village for 3 hours as we drove along one area.
In other parts there was an occasional vehicle or yurt or two.
It is the Chinese fence to demarcate the border.
Happy weekend, Eva
