Great zoom to the Ramses II face. We can see perfectly and very clear the relief carvings on the rock wall and over the figure.
This is one of the most spectacular ancient monument I ever seen, but full of tourists! (better that way than never!).
Wellcome to TE and keep posting your shots Christine.

I have tried a Workshop for you, I hope you like it.
