Abu Simbel is an archaeological site comprising of two massive rock temples in southern Egypt on the western bank of Lake Nasser about 290 km south west of Aswan. Oct. 2008
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.
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.
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!
I had to remove a few on this one. You don’t have your Egypt pics on here?
