Egypt - Caravan at Pyramids of Giza
The pyramids of Giza are perhaps the only true rival to the Great Sphinx when one thinks of ancient Egypt and its architecture. The Valley of Giza -- with its wonderful monuments -- is truly a marvel of architectural prowess. The three largest pyramids located in the valley consist of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Kafhre and the Pyramid of Menkaura.
The Great Pyramid of Giza enjoys special status among the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World". None of the others have survived into the modern era. The construction, date, and possible symbolism of the Giza pyramids are still not entirely understood. This mystery only adds to the attractiveness of these ancient wonders and many modern people still regard Giza as a spiritual place. A number of fascinating theories have been offered to explain the "mystery of the pyramids".
Everytime I visit such a famous place like pyramids of Giza, I'm faced with a challenge that this place was photographed probably a trillion times and it is nearly impossible to come with something original. The day I visitted Giza valley rewarded me with some wonderful sky with clouds that created nice shadows passing over pyramids. This "caravan" of camels appeared just at the right place and time to give the photo timeless feel.

Now that's the shot I wanted to get!! But we made the huge error of going with a tour, and so of course could not spend the time to find decent angles for shots, and had to make do with the "car park" perspectives!! Your's is just fantastic.

The caravan is a nice touch. I am most impressed with the richness of the color. Hard to keep the sun and sand from bleaching out and still have a true blue in the sky. Nice work!

I want this as a poster! This is THE classic pyramid shot...everything is fantastic-the sky, the blue and gold tones, the camels, and the 'mids themselves!
