I flew on the first KC-135 to have rollers installed for moving cargo. We flew from Altus AFB, OK to Cairo West, Egypt. Upon landing the plane broke so badly, the crew had a week to go anywhere we wanted. It was awesome!
The day was perfect. I like the cloud shadows in this photo.
Pyramid Peak is a mountain in the Sierra Nevada mountain range within the subrange of the Crystal Mountains (California), to the west of Lake Tahoe. It is the highest point in the Desolation Wilderness in El Dorado County, California. An elevation gain of almost 4,100 ft. (1,250 m) makes the mountain's most popular route, Rocky Canyon, a very arduous climb.
Elevation: 9,983 ft (3,043 m)
Location: California, USA
Range: Sierra Nevada
Prominence: 2,583 ft (787 m)

The pyramids in Egypt housing the dead old guys who ruled Egypt. We all know it, why is this description so LONG?!?!?!
Mud-brick pyramid in Tucume, Peru.
Archeological excavation sites are covered with roof.
Tucume, built in 1100 AD, is one of three pyramid cities. The site was an important population center for the region as the final capital of the Sican culture. It was later incorporated into the Chimu realm around 1350 AD and then finally absorbed by the Inca Empire a hundred years later.
Unlike Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, these pyramids were built of adobe bricks, which have been deteriorated over 1000 years. Just looking at a glance, these seem small hills. Looking more closely, individual bricks are visible.
Constructed in 2570 BCE. The section on top is part of the original sheathing. The pyramids were covered in a smooth layer of granite or high quality limestone which made the pyramid shine in the sunlight.

The famous pyramids of Giza, located next to Cairo, Egypt. Lit up at night for a presentation and light show, the pyramids are incredibly impressive, day or night.
The Pyramids, visible from the road in northwest Indianapolis. They're just south of I-465.
When they were built, they were way out in the sticks, but instantly became a landmark. I heard that the original mirrored glass reflected the sun so badly that it interfered with air traffic, and so new, less-glaring glass was installed. I used to work in an office complex across from the Pyramids, and at certain times of day every office on the east side of the building had to close the blinds against the killer glare.
I worked on the second floor of the middle pyramid for about a year, in 1999 and 2000, I think. I was surprised by how shabby the place was inside.
Pyramid Rock beach on Marine Corps Base Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. My lunch time routine involved enjoying my Subway sandwich and listening to the local sports radio show while parked in my Jeep overlooking this beach.
Taken on a VERY rainy day in Rome, Italy during our 5 day photography trip. We gained access to the Ostiense Museum which is located in the gatehouse of Porta San Paolo. We climbed to the highest windows nearest the pyramid for a variety of angles.
