With two photos by Si Salter on the board it’s about time I joined the Picture The World Project board.
When you think of Egypt, it always conjures up images of the Pyramids, mummies, the Sphinx, Cleopatra and the River Nile. However, even with these potent symbols of Egypt buried on my memory card (well, perhaps not Cleopatra!), I chose this picture to symbolise Egypt. I was lucky enough to visit Luxor Temple at night, and chanced upon this avenue of minature sphinx. I think this picture shows what is great about Egypt, with its rich history available to all, day or night. Some call Luxor ’the world’s greatest open air museum’.
I would like to challenge two fabulous travel bloggers Jeannie Mark (of nomadicchick.com) and Sam (of nomadicsamuel.com).
Thanks Gav, it’s about time you joined the party! Nice shot for Egypt.

Those miniature sphinx are cute! I like what you did to the angle of your pictures. It has some patterns and the perspective is good! You can enter this photo in any photography contest.
Hi!
Thanks for the compliments! I think the subject matter definitely helped me out. It was just a case of finding the best angle, pointing the camera and shooting!
