Dicono che la Sfinge,faccia la guardia alla piramide di Chefren, E' la più antica statua monumentale d'Egitto. Gli archeologi la collocano intorno al 2500 a.c. e ne attribuiscono l'ispirazione a Chefren. È alta 20 m e ha il corpo allungato, le zampe protese e un copricapo reale. Fu scolpita in un affioramento di roccia naturale sulla cui base furono aggiunti alcuni blocchi di pietra in occasione delle numerose ristrutturazioni, a partire dalla XVIII dinastia. Sono tanti i racconti sul naso della Sfinge di Giza, secondo le quali la sua distruzione avvenne o per un colpo sparato da un mamelucco, un ottomano o un francese. In realtà andò perso prima del XV secolo. In origine la Sfinge aveva anche una finta barba stilizzata, simbolo di regalità, ma anch'essa scomparve. Un pezzo di roccia prelevato dal luogo in cui essa sorgeva sulla sabbia oggi è conservato nel British Museum di Londra. Critiche, commenti e consigli sempre super graditi. Grazie.

Loredana Schena,
A curiosity: are all those chairs always there, or was there any chance?
. Those chairs are there, because often on weekends Pyramid Management makes a show of music with projections of lights on the Pyramids.

Beautiful scenery, I personally prefer color because the clouds are well visible. Very nice and special and the first time I see the pyramids with the armchairs makes the idea of ??tourism. Congratulations nice, hello :-) :-)

Without the presumption of being true I am convinced that "the pictures made to what we commonly see: people and the human environment" must be in BN because the color, which is perceived in a different way from each one of us, Distracts from content. This incredible place is known by many, even by me traveling little, but not by everyone; The color, if the photo is recent, could then have a more descriptive function for those who have not been there. I've been to Egypt in 1991 and in Giza there was no paved road and there were no chairs, the photo in BN gives me much more of the emotion I felt. For me you did well to put the two pictures. I envy you, Egypt is wonderful and now I will go see your beautiful photos.
A greeting Annamaria

Very nice light and I compose, for the rest, reading that he made a light PP in Photoshop I recommend using a sheep less than "clarity" or other functions for sharpness ... I tell it to you but I also tell it to me that I tend to abound on this aspect.
A warm greeting ... :-) ;-)

Hello. Fine both but while being a BW sufferer I must admit that high lights are more balanced in the color version where the details of the clouds are more readable. Opto for the color version!

Magnificent, they stonate all those chairs, but an incredible historic site, taken up and best described.
