The nubian temples are so beautiful, majestic but not monumental ... to visit them in the middle of the nubian desert was an unforgettable experience for me!
Magnificent photo, Jake!

Botticcelli..thank you so very much....I've been looking through some of my old photographs and found the photographs I took in New York....I've got to organize my photographs a little better...that's not as much fun as taking them....

Urselle, thank you so very much..I'm so glad you liked this photograph...I have always enjoyed visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York...it's much more exciting because they encourage you to photograph the permanent exhibits....

Soldier Thank you so very much....I was stunned that they moved each stone of this temple to the MET museum.....compliments of Jackie Kennedy Onassis....

Crowy... had to actually "Google" Lara Croft....I should have known that....you are right.....it does remind you of that...thank you so very much for compliment..

Irashid....the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is a very special place....wonderful to visit but you need many days to just walk through...we spend the whole day and only got through two wings of the first floor and I still felt rushed......thank you so much....

Poulet..thank you so much....I have been working with photoshop and was able to change the lighting on parts of this photograph with that software...I'm hoping to get better with my camera but they won't let you use flash in the museum...
