The Entrance To Karnak [Explored]
Karnak at Luxor is one of my favorite sights to see in Egypt. I love the rams at the entrance. They are actually sphinx statues and are the symbol of the god, Amun. Some have had their heads damaged, but one can still see how grand they must have looked centuries ago.
The temple was built over 2000 years ago and it was the place of gods for the Egyptians of the time. Today it is a huge outdoor museum that has thrilled tourists over and over again. It has awed me three times and if I am ever lucky enough to return to Egypt, it will be one of the first sights I will see again.
One of my friends on Flickr looked at one of my other images of the rams, but with foliage in front of the statues and wanted to see an image without the plant. Luckily, I had taken an image like that and this is it.
