The Egyptian pyramids are ancient masonry structures located in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.*

A long exposure from Patricia lake. I was struck by how vibrant the Aspen was, May 27, 2022. Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Thanks for taking a look!
There are some small pyramids in the image but I just don't recall why I gave it that name. I must have had a reason. If you see me you might ask me about it.

Thank you folks for all your kind comments and faves, really much appreciated ツ
Color contributes to beauty, but it is not beauty. Color should have a minor part in the consideration of beauty, because it is not [color] but the structure that constitutes its essence.

Die Erdpyramiden von Lengmoos
Erdpyramiden sind steile, turm- oder kegelförmige Erosions-formen aus relativ leicht erodierbarem Gestein (z. B. schwach zementierter Sandstein, Löss, Blocklehm, vulkanischer Tuff), die durch aufliegende Blöcke aus weniger gut erodierbarem Material vor der völligen Abtragung bisher bewahrt blieben.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, or earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock formed by erosion. Hoodoos typically consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They generally form within sedimentary rock and volcanic rock formations.
Pyramid Lake was formed by the tears of Stone Mother, who had herself a tsunami-like cry after her husband "The Man" banished two of her children from the tribe for being class act brats. Her multi-day cry not only created the lake but eventually turned her to stone, thus her name "Stone Mother." Apparently, she's still sitting somewhere along the shore with her basket by her side. I saw none of that, but given my current state of mind, I think it's all quite plausible.

At least, ...it was for several nights around the last Super bowl--- held at the San Francisco 49ers' football stadium down in Santa Clara.
Anyway, it used to be an old joke about the chances of the Transamerica Pyramid being illuminated in colored light, like the City Hall and Coit Tower are. But, the joke became reality when, while looking at one of the very handy live cams out there one night, I could tell there was something extra making the pyramid glow. The confusing part was how it changed off and on due to the web cam refreshing during different colors.
So, the thing to do was go down and see. It was great. I saw many photographers at every spot I shot from and many of my contacts from flickr took great images of something that may not happen again. I mean, that took some money.
Thanks for checking out the shot!

The pyramid - The iconic and unmistakeable pyramid profile of Stob Dearg commonly known as Buachaille Etive Mòr (the herdsman of Etive) reflected in the River Coupall. An incredibly dramatic and beautiful landscape, typifying the very best of what the Highlands has to offer; this distinctive mountain is irresistible in its charm in so many different ways.

Pyramid Peak reaches an elevation of 14,018 ft (4,273 m). Despite its height and rugged craggy top, it takes a back seat to its more famous cousins, the Maroon Bells. This was shot shortly before sunset at Maroon Lake, Colorado.
Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Marquge "covid " au sol, gardiens masqués semblant attendre désespérément des visiteurs... Non, ceux-ci ne boudent pas, l'accès au musée du Louvre se fait uniquement sur réservation, date et créneau horaire. Un contrôle est effectué avant ces chicanes : les visiteurs ne peuvent passer que quelques minutes avant l'heure indiquée sur leur billet. A savoir qu'il en est ainsi, en France, cet été, quasiment pour toute visite de musées, de monuments, de parcs d'attractions, zoos, jardins "payants", etc. Avantage : pas d'attente et des conditions de visite meilleures puisque les jauges imposées en raison du covid réduisent l'affluence. En revanche, un touriste peu organisé - ou sans Internet - risque d'avoir plus de mal à profiter de son séjour.
