Temple Window

Rating: 8
5 Ratings since 2008-07-21 02:52

Description
Taken from the Temple of Philae in Egypt.The original site of this temple was flooded to make way for the Aswan Dam.
It was subsequently moved stone by stone to another location not to far away, an incredible feat.
I have added the river scene through the window to give a representation of what it may have looked like in its original location.

Excellent shot Les, but did you have to scratch those images on the wall.
You must have got a good camera to keep the verticals vertical.
Respect Roy.
