A couple more photos of the Terracotta Warriors in Xian, which are superb. The colours are what really makes them. I won’t ramble on any more about them, I just wanted to present them here.

Flickr Picks – China – 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.
