at 21mm, 1/400 f/14.0, ISO 200, hand held. Cairo, Egypt.

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.

A place that from the time of the ancient Egyptians is modern, the framing presents it as it lives today, black white is the right choice for a known view that each of us colors with his own eyes, beautiful image
A greeting

Great scenario of considerable impact.
For me, however, ruined by disturbing elements such as the street and the chairs.
It's like seeing in Venice, instead of the traditional gondolas, the motorboats that pollute.
