| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The largest Ramses statue in the world. It is kept in the old capital of ancient Egypt, Memfis. (Yes, Memphis Tennessee is named after this capital! And Philadelphia after the Roman name of nowadays Amman, Jordan!)
Memfis in Egypt is still a living city, not far from Cairo. In the neighbourhood you also find the old pyramid of Saqqara. |

Hej Monica,
A really great shot. I like your POV. The lighting is really good and the sharpness is excellent taking into account that the photo is taken indoors. I also like the inclusion of people at two levels. Trevlig helg!
Hälsningar
Ulf
