Temple-hopping in Luxor, October 2010

Amazing, but true...

So, I put the wife on a boat and jumped on a plane to Luxor. The temples here was unreal, and the Valley of the Kings was also most interresting to see. However, there was a general No Photography policy around the tombs, so no images from those. Still - amazing engineering for people with only manual tools.

I did have a hard time editing these down from 400-something exposures, but I'm pretty sure you'll have more than enough to wade through as it is. The size and scale of things is really hard to convey in a photo, but trust me when I say it was HUGE and over the top.

In summary: a LOT of big rocks that look kinda similar :)
