My entry for this week is from my archives of photographs shot in Petra of Jordan which needs no introduction.
Near the Siq
I am posting two photographs, one of a typical scenery shot near Wadhi Al-Mudhlim above, the other of what the locals call as Al-Khazneh when it was cast with the shade of the tall mountains around.

The Treasury, also called Al KhaznehThe inclusion of some people in the above picture does give a rough idea of the size of the Treasury, isn't it? I also like to view how the mountain in the top right hand side is bathed in full and direct sunlight.

Both are beautiful shots, I love horses which makes the first shot very special. And the second shot is just stunning. The mountain and colors are fantastic.
the second pic is just too awesome! makes you feel tiny and insignificant!
I'm speechless, the views are breathtaking and the shadows stunning.

Great shots from Petra. Yes, it is well known. Even I know of it. :)
These are gorgeous and monumental! I can only imagine how much more awestruck I would be to see this in person.
Hey,
Thanks for sharing the link - but unfortunately it seems to be not working? Does anybody here at indicaspecies.blogspot.com have a mirror or another source?
Cheers,

Both of these photos are just stunning, I have never seen anything like either of them.
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
Gorgeous magnificent shots!! Awesome!
WHOA! The people look very small in the second photo, which is the perfect way to emphasize the majesty of this place.
Simply fabulous, the views are nice to look at but all the more interesting when you consider how old this region is. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Pretty and clear pics.
I did not recognize these places, but my hubby and son both had instant recognition. One went "Indiana Jones!" and the other "Tin tin"!
Very nice and crisp Shot
:)

I thought of Indiana Jones too. Fantastic photos!
Very Nice Pics, makes me think of going to Jordan for my next trip.
I've always wanted to visit this place, but have not travel to Jordan yet... Fabulous shots, love them both.
Tall and imposing structures are quite intimidating indeed. :)
luvly pics - the 2nd pic looks a bit like badami. isnt it?
