This was taken in February during the Sound and Light show at the Temple Complex at Philae near Aswan. The temple complex, burial place of Osiris and dedicated to his bride Isis, is one of the best preserved of the Ptolemaic era sites. It sits on an island in the middle of the Nile south of Aswan, and was painstakingly reconstructed on higher ground to save it from flooding when the Aswan High Dam was built. It is awesome when seen by day, but seeing it at night adds a further element of drama and mystery. To get there one takes a boat ride on the Nile just at sunset, an experience in itself.
Sweet !!! Can't imagine that place at night, sure looked good during the day. The only place I got to go at night was a light show at Karnak Temple !!!
Thanks all. I'll admit to being pleased with the fact that this was shot without a tripod at 1/5 sec. (braced on whatever was nearby). Shows the value of the VR lens, I guess. Harshad, I've seen Khajurao, many years ago, but only in daylight. I imagine it must be spectacular in a Sound and Light show.
