The Kiosk of Trajan on the Island of Philae sent on November 21, 2016 (22:34) by Annamaria Pertosa. 45 comments, 1596 views.

at 45mm, 1/1250 f/5.6, ISO 100, hand held. Assuan, Egypt.

Visitando la Valle del Nilo, il tempio di Iside a Philae situato su un'isola del Nilo è sicuramente una tappa da non perdere. Si può accedere al monumento solo con piccole barche, ma anche la gita in sé costituisce una straordinaria esperienza: i piccoli taxi d'acqua che navigano sul fiume passano accanto a spettacolari monumenti sparsi lungo la riva dell'isola di Agilkia. Philae deve la sua fama alla presenza del culto della dea Iside che attirava i pellegrini dell'intero bacino mediterraneo. E'? sopravvissuto all'era cristiana, rimanendo l'ultimo baluardo del paganesimo. Per vedere il tempio, quarant'anni fa, le barche dei visitatori si dirigevano verso l'isola di Philae, dove fu originariamente costruito il complesso templare in età tolemaica. Dopo la costruzione della Diga di Assuan il livello del Nilo è salito, sommergendo completamente il tempio per sei mesi l'anno. Attraverso l'acqua pulita del fiume era possibile vedere i cortili e le colonne sommerse. Negli anni '60, quando è sorta la minaccia di inondare l'?isola per sempre, i templi sono stati smontati blocco per blocco e ricostruiti al disopra del livello delle acque sulla vicina isola di Agilkia, rimodellata per assomigliare il più possibile all'isola sommersa di Philae. Arrivando sull'isola di Agilkia si incontra subito un piccolo tempio eretto da Nectanebo I, il più antico monumento del complesso. Nelle vicinanze si trova il cortile esterno racchiuso da due lunghe file di colonne. La fila delle colonne orientali è interrotta dal Tempio di Arensnuphis, mentre nel colonnato occidentale vi sono delle finestre che si aprono sul fiume. Del Chiosco di Traiano, che vedete nella foto, si ignora la vera funzione, sorge a poca distanza dal tempo di Iside. Si ipotizza, in virtù della doppia apertura verso Est ed a Ovest, che fosse una stazione di sosta della barca sacra di Iside nel corso della processione. Rimasto incompiuto nelle decorazioni, fu completato dall'imperatore romano Traiano da cui ha assunto il nome. David Robert, durante il suo viaggio in Egitto, scrisse del Chiosco di Traiano: “ L'insieme dà l'impressione che costruttori e scalpellini abbiano appena lasciato il cantiere. E' costruito con un'arenaria così leggera e dai dettagli così delicati e vivi che non riesco a concepire l'idea che sto contemplando una rovina vecchia di duemila anni”. Critiche e giudizi sempre super graditi. Grazie.

I really like the low point shooting that enhances the grandeur of the temple. Excellent also the presence of tourists who gives to shoot a street cut. As for the light, when you go around like tourists, you can not always choose the time at which to shoot. It has happened many times to me: - /. Compliments. Hello.

Ps: I have also seen the version b / w I think is suffering from a post not up.

Roberto G, traveling to Egypt have a wonderful memory, I hope that sooner or later will end this state of alarm, to go back. This photo was taken at two in the afternoon with a blinding sun, you're absolutely right, I should "heat it up" a bit ', I'll try. Thank you very much for the advice, commentary and welcome presence.
A dear greeting

Clara, black and white, I agree. I ran my hand on the sharpening values. I am very glad that you like this version. Unfortunately, with the light of the two in the afternoon and more in Egypt, it is a tall order to manage it better. Thank you so much for your attention and the pleasant visit.
A dear greeting
Annamaria :-P

Despite the high light, close guess the middle of the day, the photo came good.
Compared to BN version I prefer the color version.
