Thanks for taking the time to view my renderings.
Very impressive... Full of history. I like this picture for its high resolution, and I love the colors. What about the other sections? I hope you have more pictures of it. Thank you Jen (I don't think you are a "frustrated photographer" I think you're an excellent one)

Such a wonderful shot of this place, Jen! Can't you see all of Cairo from up there?

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

It looks very strong and durable, no wonder it has stood so long. Nice shot.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

It makes me feel like yelling, "Man the ramparts! The orcs are coming!" :-)))
