I have always enjoyed photography as a means of portraying things found in nature or as a method of teaching others about places they may never be able to see in person.  I have yet to leave the western hemisphere or North America for that matter, but would love to one day travel and experience the world.  Until then, pictures are one of the only ways in which I can experience and appreciate other places. Egypt has a rich culture and past, and it is definitely a place I would consider visiting.  Pictures such as this demonstrate the unique beauty that this country possesses.  America does not have anything remotely similar in terms of geography and the cultural origins of these edifices are unique to Egypt.  This picture helps the observer feel as if they are standing across the river observing this interesting place.
