Egyptian Dawn
Uploaded: June 19, 2015 02:29:58 | Entered: July 23, 2015 03:15:00
Egypt, is by far, the most fascinating place that I have visited - Like traveling through time...
I Arrived late at night, and for the most part the Great Pyramids were not visible against the night sky..... Stayed at the Mena House in Giza that is adjacent to the Pyramids.... this becomes the early morning view!
This is an old image - I scanned the negative and cleaned it up and enhanced it with Photoshop. (T&P)

I can only imagine how this place kept you in awe with its history and as you said, traveling though time. You got a beautiful look here at the pyramids, love the tones and look. All that manpower to build it is still amazing. I also love that you got the tour bus in the picture as it is a connection of past and present. Gorgeous work Jeff. #1621444Gord MacEachern June 19, 2015

Nice work! I loved Egypt when I was there - many moons ago... #11322401Laura E. Swan June 23, 2015
So with this image we have gone back into time twice. Once because it is Egypt and once because this is from a scanned negative from the long ago. Brilliant Jeff! And we can see you were even an early morning person then, too!! :))) I just got home from a long trip to Iceland, Denmark and Norway. Photos to follow! #11322404Jeff Robinson June 26, 2015

This is living proof we should be able to use our images no longer how long ago we shot them. Our work is our work and we want to share it and others want to see it. Ageless as the pyramids. Thanks for this and for your story, Jeff. Huge congrats on the well deserved POTD GOLD! :D #11484351Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
