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.
These are both lovely but I'm especially fond of the first one. Those horses are delightful! Have a super week ahead :)

ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
Gorgeous magnificent shots!! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWHOA! The people look very small in the second photo, which is the perfect way to emphasize the majesty of this place.
ReplyDeleteSimply 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.
ReplyDeletePretty and clear pics.
ReplyDeleteI did not recognize these places, but my hubby and son both had instant recognition. One went "Indiana Jones!" and the other "Tin tin"!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and crisp Shot
