This photo has been appeared in "500px Editor's Choice" on February 12, 2012. It was an unforgettable night at the West Tower with Five Holes at Jinshanlin Great Wall. Severe thunderstorms and lightning just came suddenly, and the tower was our only shelter during the whole night. This photo was taken at the night of 4 August 2013 in the tower. As it was raining together with severe thunderstorms and lightening, I could only take photos through the arches and windows of the tower. Both the foreground and background of the great wall and mountains were greatly lighten up by a series of lightening that made them clearly visible. The West Tower with Five Holes (西五眼楼) was built in 1599 with a masonry structure. It once had an important geographic position in the old time due to its connection of the both east and west sides of Jinshanlin (金山岭）Great Wall. http://500px.com/photo/60313346
