I took this in Jordan at the ruins of Petra. The photo is from the gorge that leads to the impressive structure called the Treasury. It's famous for its appearance in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
This is THE ultimate place for any armchair archaeologist. To walk the long dark canyon and open up in the light of this city. I just want to lean to the right a little and see the urn at the top of the capital.
thanks a lot for the positive responces.
Ive got a lot of shots of the treasury and the rest of Petra, but none of them are as dynamic as this one. After 9/11 middle eastern tourism took a down turn so there wasnt many people, but there were still a enough to creep into all my full shots. Thats why i posted this one. But seeings as two people want to see the full thing, i'll post a full shot as soon as ive finished typing this.
How fortunate you were to journey to Petra! An amazing haunting place. And this shot so conveys the sense of anticipation and awe one encounters at first glimpse there. Kudos!
