1/320 f/8.2, ISO 100, hand held. Cairo, Egypt.

Obelisco Incompiuto Cava di Assuan . Durante la visita alle rovine dei siti monumentali sparsi per tutto l'Egitto, è raro fermarsi a riflettere sulle varie fasi necessarie alla loro realizzazione. L'obelisco incompiuto costituisce una rara opportunità di considerare questo complesso processo e la difficoltà di dare forma ai grandi blocchi di pietra che hanno fatto parte della maggior parte dei monumenti presenti in Egitto. Questo enorme obelisco avrebbe raggiunto l'altezza di 140 piedi, il più grande mai costruito in Egitto. Fu realizzato in granito rosso di Assuan, lo stesso che decora molti dei principali monumenti di epoca faraonica, e per il quale la città è famosa. Il più grande di tutti i monoliti in Egitto, comunque, non è mai stato ultimato. Durante l'ultima fase della sua realizzazione, furono scoperte delle fenditure nella roccia, motivo per cui fu abbandonato in una delle antiche cave di Assuan, ultimato su tre lati, ma ancorato al letto di roccia sul quarto lato. Con questa serie di scatti vi voglio proporre la cava dove si estraevano e come si arrivava al loro distacco, spiegatomi da questo personaggio che si aggirava nella cava, speriamo che non mi abbia "perculato"

The photo has its own charm, which makes you think; But the most stunning thing (which I didn't know) is your well-told and Chiarly detailed caption. You're great, Loris.
Auguroni for a New Year, (without deluding us that everything can change), but that can be a good omen for very smiling day. A hug Fabrizio :-P ;-) :-P

Thanks Fabrizio, I am glad that the caption serves to make the picture better understand, moreover they are places that have great charm but far away from us and our culture, then to better understand it takes help. Auguroni for a new year that will spare with affection, we will make some nice smiles when we go around to take pictures :-P
A hug Loris ;-) :-)

It always amazes us when we listen to the history of great Egypt.
men, without tools, have left indelible footprints, and unfinished works..
Their wits was the head and so many slaves...
has absolutely not made fun of you
fall our bridges, but their civilization continues in history..
I visited all the sites, great effect..
