Darren On The Road posted several photos of the Xian Terracotta Warriors:

I’ve never been to Xian or seen the Terracotta Warriors, although I plan to one day. I’ve seen some great photos of the Terracotta Warriors and they’d have to be one of the most photographed things in China.

These photos go really well together – it’s just a pity that one’s the wrong shape to fit with the rest, otherwise this set would be close to perfect. The different colours and tones really complement each other and are very effective.

I particularly like the photo of the smashed up warriors. That’s not the standard photo that you see of the Terracotta Warriors.

I’m really getting to like Darren On The Road’s photos – he sure knows how to take a good shot. Get over to his Flickr page and check his photos out.

  1. the pictures of the terra cotta warriors are great….. is difficult to get a good picture… mine were not as good.. when i went to see the warriors i purchased two awesome picture books…. but a picture cannot capture the warriors….. i had seen many photos and did some research before i went to see them….. but when i saw them it was amazing….. i couldn’t find the words to describe them i still can’t…… i was in total awe..

    i hope you can go…. it really is a must see
