The Kiosk of Trajan on the Island of Philae sent on November 21, 2016 (22:34) by Annamaria Pertosa. 45 comments, 1590 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 also posted the original color, because it rightly pointed out to me that it was a bit 'too dark. Actually I had left to take a bit 'too carried away by the unsharp mask values.
I would be grateful to friends / that if they would be kind enough to express their opinion, positive or negative. As I always said, I am the negative criticism that help us grow and improve. Thank you all.

Claudio C, in fact the sun was one of two in the afternoon and in Egypt, it is saying something. Maybe I should further close the iris. Thank you so much for the kindness of the double comment, you really are a friend.
A dear greeting
Annamaria :-P

George O, thank you for expressing your preference. Unfortunately, this shot was made with the sun of 2 pm, it was blinding, the classic Egyptian sun. Add to that that the PP, are an amateur ... here are the consequences. Thank you very much for the nice comments and the presence always very welcome.
A dear greeting
Annamaria :-P

This picture makes me remember with nostalgia my trip to Egypt a few years ago and the difficulties of shooting in unseemly hours with the sun beating down .... to be honest to my taste the "scalderei" a little ....; -) :-P
Best wishes Annamaria,
Roberto
