Lonely Giants, a photo from Giza, Delta

Photographer's Note

If you ever want to get away from the crowds at the Pyramids in Giza:

1. Arrive early. Nothing new so far for the amateur photographer crowd reading this!
2. Walk all the way to the viewpoint West of the Pyramids
3. Make a one hour loop walking South of the monuments

Quiet, good opportunities for pictures without the massive amount of people walking out of the buses every day, you will definitely enjoy it.

Cheers!

MeAT :)

Hi Mathieu
A wonderful shot of these famous icons. The lonely man and his camel were a bonus and you waited for just the right moment to include them in the shot.

Olá Mathieu,

I like of this sepia composition wich enhances the arid environment and you do not miss the camel element.

Hi Mathieu,
It is a very interesting view of the pyramids, nice to have then w/o tourists roaming around.
But I miss the Great Pyramid, it could have been nicer, IMHO, to have framed the three big ones. T lonely camel is a plus.
The cepia tobes gives a pleasant feeling of old. Good option.
Interetsing and useful note.

Hi Mathieu!
This looks like an old postcard - and great detail with the camel in the foreground! The long walk away from the crowds sure paid off in this in this case!
