Leaning Truck of Beijing meets Great Wall of China

I took this photo outside of Beijing in May 2006 just as we made the turn-off to the Great Wall.

Just over those hills on the right… the legendary Great Wall of China, standing solid for thousands of years, visible from space, one of the design wonders of the ancient world.

Immediately to our left… the Leaning Truck of Beijing, one of the design wonders of the modern world (the viewer wonders why this thing doesn’t just tip over).

You can’t script this sort of thing.
