Superbly captured Roddy, so hard to believe that they moved it to a new location to save it from flooding when the Aswan Dam was built! The lighting on it is superb and you’ve retained the blue in the sky so very well.
Roddy Atkinson replied
Hi Stuart, thank you very much, it is an incredible place and how they managed to move it without any noticeable signs is unbelievable. The biggest problem was trying to get a shot without too many of the swarming tourists in though.
Stuart Chapman
I almost commented on that too Roddy. I managed just one shot myself without getting any people in it at all. Just got the timing right between people going inside before the next coach load turned up!
Roddy Atkinson replied
I had to remove a few on this one. You don’t have your Egypt pics on here?
