The Pyramids of Giza

I'm back from my vacation (well sort of ... I'm at the airport waiting for my flight back to Sydney tonight). I spent the last three weeks in Malaysia and the Middle East.

I couldn't wait to start sharing my photos from the trip so here's one of the Pyramids of Giza to kick things off. This is a three exposure digital blend.

I have to echo Daniel... the first thing that leaped to mind was the unique vantage point of the Pyramids. Look forward to the rest of the travel images, and I hope you had a safe trip back to Sydney.

Have been longing to see your global touring photos !
The sun rise at 20 minutes pass mid night in Egypt ?
Then I realise your camera time set is still in Australian time zone.
So I recommend you to set the local time in your next global tour !
