[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo while crossing few miles in the Egyptian Desert passing by the Pyramids area, I heard horse tapping, i stopped my horse and over looked at the valley to see a group of tourists/Locals on their way towards the pyramids.

The far running horses together with the yelling and dust reminded me by the movie "The Scorpion King" have you seen it? ;)

Hi Sam,
the simplicity of this picture, besides its great but natural sharpness, gives to the observer the idea to be there just now. This is my idea of a TE phtoto. Congratulations, Dario.

PS 110 visitors and no points! TE rewarding "rules" sometimes are absurd...

Hi Sam,
The horseback riders surrounded by sand suggest the vastness of the desert. Warm colors, long shadows, soft curves in the forefront contrasting with the sharp diagonal in the upper right corner make a beautifully composed picture. I can even see dust trailing behind the horses. Very nice work.
