Photographer’s Note

The arabian couple in the Petra Historical complex.And one foreigner photographer.

Although in ancient times Petra might have been approached from the south (via Saudi Arabia on a track leading around Jabal Haroun, Aaron's Mountain, on across the plain of Petra), or possibly from the high plateau to the north, most modern visitors approach the ancient site from the east. The impressive eastern entrance leads steeply down through a dark, narrow gorge (in places only 3–4 metres wide) called the Siq ("the shaft"), a natural geological feature formed from a deep split in the sandstone rocks and serving as a waterway flowing into Wadi Musa. At the end of the narrow gorge stands Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh ("the Treasury"), hewn into the sandstone cliff.

Serghei,
That was a good angle, so you got already framed picture. That couple was on perfect location.
Well done!
Pozdrav!

Hello Serghei,
I was here never and (is not this good feeling)I am jealous to You that you had such opportunity. Nicely spied, excellent colours and interested, perpendicular composition.
Best regards from cool and foggy Mosina,

hi Serghei

I like this moment of good timing that you seized with the photographer and subject by using this natural frame to show a contrast of light+shadow and the composition of showing the columns, the rocks and a bit of sky.

Really a good way to show Jordan landscape even from the opening.

I like this point of view very much. It was a position I missed when I visited the place. You had very good lighting here.

hi serghei,
you got the eye! the gentleman in western, and the lady in arabian attires affirm the fact that east and west can get along harmoniously! excellent use of the large opening for a natural view and framing of the subjects. Jamillah!
