The Pyramids three of many.

G'day Hans

An interesting shot of a place I will never see personally

However- playing with the scroll bar and rolling the image up and down, if I remove a chunk of lighter sky to have the horizon about in the middle, it seems to change its visual impression - the darker clouds then seem to match the darkness of the pyramids

Does it do anything for you??

More like this you mean?

[Isac]

I'm liking the shot in general Hans. Lovely eerie scene and I like the sun position over the pyramid.

[HansE]

First one or the crop?

[Isac]

Top one. I can see merit in the crops but the first one gives me more sense of scale.

[HansE]

I think so as well. Though I was in two ways.

[HansE]

Found a couple more of Egypt
#1

The pigeons were very fond of the camel poo! Must have found lots to eat there.

#2

Carpet making school providing some work and skills to young people.

#3

Mohammed Ali mosque, one more. You can't always wait for there to be noone around.

Fascinating place to visit Hans but not on my calendar now - damn Corona! I'll just have to be happy looking at your pics

[HansE]

We only got in a few days before it was very luckily cancelled Intersting but that bit will never be repeated. Would still like to do the bit we actually went for, the Nile cruise. We'll see, it is a big world. We would now have been caught in Jordan under house arrest

Lucky you for getting home in time Hans. A lovely couple near us both had flu symptoms and went to hospital for a check to see if it was Corona virus. A quick temp check and listen to the chest and told to go home, it's just a cold. They were relieved but really upset over the $540 bill!! They are from Wales and been here 16 years. I told him to phone "A Current Affair" to warn others about the rip off.

G'day Hans

Here's something like what I had in mind via my first response above
Phil

[HansE]

Yes looks good. Not sure if it is neede it becomes more minimal. You are drewn to the point of interest Pyramids and the brightspot in this case the sun befre exploring clouds and foreground. Racking my brain to think of using it in a further composit. Should make a good background.

[HansE]

I have come back a few times. I think it is growing on me. Will give it a thumbs up!

[Isac]

Maybe good for as composite like you said Hans.Good for PS practice as well for playing with colour matching. It's getting my juices flowing

[HansE]

The first Pyramid and my $2 model. The step pyramid was built in a series of rectangular cubes.
