a few from Petra in Jordan.. Amazing place..

1. The Siq

This was the walk through the rock passage to reach the main site

2. The Treasury

First views of the Treasury building as you reach the end of the Siq

3. Full View of the Treasury

Had to climb up to a precarious ledge up on the rocks to get this one..

    Nice shots. I'm usually not a fan of crowds in shots but it works well here to give the structures a sense of scale.

    thanks Eoren1.. I'm not a big fan of having people in such frames either but they do give a sense of scale, as you've pointed out...

    Cheers

    Great, they really do add sense of scale, i never knew this structure is so big!
