I thought there was no hope for this pic until I converted it to Sepia! Just changed the whole feeling of it. Taken at sunset at the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The Mosque is still under construction but when finished, will be able to hold up to 10 000 worshippers. It is pretty impressive with huge turrets and gorgeous blown glass windows. Top 10 in the Traditional Sepia Competition – 18 August 2009 /

Abu Simbel (Arabic: أبو سنبل or أبو سمبل) is an archaeological site comprising two massive rock temples in southern Egypt on the western bank of Lake Nasser about 290 km southwest of Aswan. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Nubian Monuments” [1], which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate his Nubian neighbors. However, the complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan dam on the Nile River. Abu Simbel remains one of Egypt’s top tourist attractions. HDR, PSCS3 / picture taken a couple of days back

Statues guarding the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in Upper Egypt. This temple was carved out of a huge rock, and the whole thing was cut into pieces and moved up the mountain when the Nasser dam was built, in order to save it from being flooded by Lake Nasser. The shot was taken close to winter solstice, at which the sunlight shines right through from the entrance (left of the image) into the inner sanctum. Obviously I was not alone there, so I tried to reduce the distraction of people walking around by taking a long exposure, and like the fact that a hint of people walking around can still be made out in front of those stone guardians who have been standing there for millenia – perhaps this is how they are seeing us anyway. / Scan from colour slide.

Babu and his kitten Abu in Snow Grasses / written by May Ann Licudine Babu laid down on his soft bed and looked at the window. “No snow yet? Sigh…” Babu frowned. He fell asleep and started dreaming… In a windy foggy day, his kitten Abu invited Babu to a mysterious tall white snow grass field. Babu looked around and touched them. They felt like soft cotton. He wondered why this place was too quiet and strange. Babu didn’t understand what it meant. “Yes, it’s too calm and peaceful. This is a wishing place. You can tell them what you wish, Babu.”, said Abu gently. Babu felt a little bit scared. Abu noticed Babu’s fear. “Don’t worry, snow grasses won’t attack you, Babu. Okay, it’s time to make a wish.”, Abu said and nudged Babu. Babu smiled widely and closed his deep innocent eyes. / “I wish I could be happier… always.”, Babu thought quietly to himself. Abu read Babu’s thought and kept quiet. Babu felt something and opened his eyes. / “Hey Abu! How did you read inside my mind???” said Babu surprisingly. Abu giggled quietly and faked he didn’t know what Babu asked. Babu looked at snow grasses quickly… He was filled with excitement and amazement when bright sparkling stars appeared inside the snow grasses. “Abu… Abu… What happens to them? What do they mean?” asked Babu curiously. “Ohh, the stars are glowing…. I mean, they granted your wish.” said Abu. Babu felt touched and happy inside. “Thank you for inviting me in this beautiful wishing place, Abu. Hmmm, why don’t we stay together here for a little while before I wake up?” said Babu excitedly. Abu nodded and winked at Babu gently. They continued to travel around the grass field. The glittering stars floated away into the sky. Babu was very interested to see what the sky happened. After few minutes, the snow began to fall slowly. Babu and his kitten Abu jumped and smiled blissfully. They played with the beautiful snowflakes. Babu woke up and looked at the window… / It was snowing. - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – / Pencil Drawing / 8” x 10” / Babu and Abu characters ©May Ann Licudine / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -

A shot of all the colossi at Abu Simbel, the great rock temple to the Egyptian Pharaoh known to us even today as Ramses The Great. One of the most successful rulers of ancient Egypt, this rock temple was carved out of solid rock and completed circa 1224 BC. All four colossi represented Ramses, and in each he wore the double crown of upper and lower Egypt. One of the colossi was destroyed in an earthquake and even when the entire temple was moved to save it from flooding by Aswan high dam in the 1960’s, the remains of the colossi were moved as was rather than restoring it.
