But it's probably also warmer in your Luxor than in Germany. ;-) : Seriously, Bernard. Incredible images of Amazing paces. Thanks. And Good Job on the behind-the-lens work, Bro.

I do not consider myself much of a location photographer (well, I think my subject rather is skate pictures) but as you said: The place is just impressive.

	: Fantastic clarity! I feel as if I'm there! Are a lot of those sculptures and buildings reworked? Looks like they were rebuilt. Some of those places have been excavated only recently, like the Luxor temple. When I was there, they where excavating a 3.6 km long avenue of sphinxes connecting the Karnak temple and the Luxor temple. Some temples have been moved to save them from the waters of Lake Nasser which they created by bulding the big Assuan dam (which is 100 m high, by the way). Abu Simbel has been carved up and relocated to the shore of the lake, the Philae temple has been moved to a new island. Most of the stuff is original, but there are reproductions like the barque in the inner sanctum of the Horus temple. All the temple facades had been colorful but of the colors almost nothing is left. There are some colors left at the Hatshepsout temple and also in the graves in the valley of the kings. But you aren't allowed to take pictures there, probably because they fear that the flashes will harm the colors (or because they want to sell books and postcards ;-)).

	I love the pictures and love your photography! I appreciate this even more since I study this stuff in art history. Your photos should be in the book!! Thanks so much for sharing. ;-D : : Finally I got round to scanning my photos and I have selected a few of them to put into a page about my vacation on the Nile: http://adinfinitum.de/Egypt09/ : : WOW!!!!

	: you have captured what looks like an incredible place to be. beautiful photographs...must be breathtaking and mindboggling thinking about what it took to build such structures. It was quite an achievement for the old Egyptians, considering what means they had on their disposal. Only yesterday I looked up in a book about the Karnak temple how they erected their obelisks. The structure to enable this was by far bigger that the obelisk itself and built from bricks made out of Nile mud. They still use such brick for building today! : it looks hot. how was the weather? Often above 30 degrees Celsius. But it got quite cool in the night (below 10 degrees) so the swimming pool on the sun deck always was very refreshing. ;-)

	We learned they had simple carts and rolled them up one at a time. Lots of work back then! Pretty amazing what they could do with very little. : : you have captured what looks like an incredible place to be. beautiful photographs...must be breathtaking and mindboggling thinking about what it took to build such structures. : : It was quite an achievement for the old Egyptians, considering what means they had on their disposal.
