Wonders of Antiquity
In the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, the pyramids at Giza were already ancient. They included them on the list of wonders or must see attractions of the world. The modern list was recorded in the middle ages, but we know the pyramids were on that list, and it appears every other sight listed has been lost since.
One looks on these ancient wonders and understand why they have so long been regarded as a treasure. This is the second pyramid on the Giza plateau, the ancient tomb of Pharaoh Khafre.

Mark, this absolutely one of the coolest photographs I’ve ever seen of Giza. Looks like there’s a good sandstorm blow coming from the right too. You know, my friend, this composition and exposure begs for a black and white conversion. Push the cyan and blue, and contrast it with the red and yellow channels; make it punchy as hell. The sky, and the light on the stone will really make this pop. Please let me know if you do one; I’d like to see it. This is really a terrific piece of work, Mark! Cheers! Chris

beautiful work Mark – love the composition – as if it is rising up from the image itself – the sky is perfect – and have to agree with Chris – would look super in b&w.

No people, fantastic skies again, you had great weather for photography what time of year did you go ? Really is a majestic shot!

I was there over New Years. I kept hearing winter was the best time to go. Honestly I could have done with slightly warmer weather being from a warmer climate!
I shot over the heads of a pile of folks for this one!
