Hi Mirenchu,
I like this perspective very much, the color tones and hues are very special along with the fine details and textures that come into play.
The Abu Simbel is a set of two temples near the border of Egypt with Sudan. It was constructed for the pharaoh Ramesses II who reigned for 67 years during the 13th century BC (19th Dynasty)...:D
The Ankh (the bronze key shown) was, for the ancient Egyptians, the symbol (the actual Hieroglyphic sign) of life but it is an enduring icon that remains with us even today as a Christian cross. Thank you for sharing...well done...looking forward to more of your exotic adventures...:):cool:
