Jaw Dropping

From a bit of distance or up close enough to touch the stones, the pyramids are truly jaw dropping structures to see.

Certainly the trek to the Sahara was worth the effort; the three pyramids stand in the broiling sun, filled with mystery.

The outskirts of Cairo to the west are the outskirts of the massive Sahara Desert. The drive after lunch was short; after all, one of the pyramids was in the background of the photo in the last post. But there is no vestige of city here, and the vast feeling of being on that desert on a weekday afternoon in July was daunting, to say the least. Fighting the bright sun to collect the images was a challenge, but I was pleased with these results.
