this is part 1 of my egypt epic

After Paris, i met up with my mum in Egypt who had already been on tour there, i was reluctant to go because i only had eyes for Paris but in the end I was glad i went. Egypt is a land full of quirky contrasts which is something that appeals to me.

Apex meets the sun
they say a perfect pyramid generates an electromagnetic field and that if you place a piece of meat a 1/3rd of the way inside up from the middle bottom of the pyramid that piece of meat will not rot, maybe

I shot this through a taxi window so hence the variation in tone, which i like it looks moody

Apart from the 3 main standing pyramids at Giza there are a few broken ones that are cluttered around the area, I took this shot standing on one from some height from ground level, it looks like a spooky vista from a fantastical sci fi scene

Lots of tourists around even during winter which is the least peak time, so i decided to use them instead of dodge them in my composition, i call this one 'Loner longing and the wired couple'

'Gucci bag goddess'

Good shots of a magnificent landscape wendell

Mythbusters did some work on the power of the pyramid, and although the results were inconsistent and inconclusive, there was something going on

Very interesting photos. Propably the first one is the best and vineting gives extra finish to it. I agree with Gred that those images, due to style you chose, have a touch of mistery. If you would have extra one or two, propably closer to piramid, to keep story going, that would be nice and unusual series.

Great plus for taking original shots on so photographed subject.
