...Suddenly the gorge opened into a natural square and my eyes noticed Petra's most famous monument, The Treasury (El-Khazneh), its carved facade glowed in the dazzling sun.

What a fascinating discovery and so striking the enormity of this ancient place carved into the rock...the people and horse and carriage add a lot of character and interest to the scene and while part of me wishes to see a larger view, I suspect this narrow version adds to its' impact and mystery...great capture.:Pat.

Fabulous. i love the orange colour of the rock. the photo is stuffed full of interesting things. i like the way you got that person in the bottom left, to add some foreground details. the sand/ground, must have been dazzlingly bright. 10/10 favourites.

It's incredible to think that this was carved out of bare rock. There is an interesting story behind this place as well.

Wow, that's a beauty. I like it because you included the people (inversely probably couldn't be done anyway). Top score. Keep on a good work. :o)
