The Great Pyramid at Giza, Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Photographed September 20th, 2009
The Pyramid Magnolia (Magnolia pyramidata) has a curious distribution throughout the southeastern United States. With a very sporadic and spotty distribution this species is considered to be nowhere abundant. In Texas it occurs in several tiny populations along the Louisiana border in Newton and Jasper Counties. This species is unique as it prefers xeric sites with deep sandy soils and not the moist mesic slopes that other Magnolia species are commonly associated with. Several of the populations in Texas are at risk from increased habitat fragmentation due to timber production. The Big Thicket Association is currently accepting donations in an effort to purchase a conservation easement for one of the populations.

Finished around 2510 BC, this was built as a tomb for the kin Menkaure, who was the son of Khafre and the grandson of Khufu, who built the other two main Pyramids of Giza.
It's much smaller than the other two, and used to have a casing of white limestone, with the bottom 16 rows made of red granite -- so it would have looked like a "stripe" along the bottom.
In the 12th Century, al-Malek al-Aziz Othman ben Yusuf tried to dismantle it, but it was far too difficult and expensive. Blacks that tumbled to the bottom would become buried in sand. Eventually he gave up, leaving a "scar" along one side.
One of my very favorite Christmas decorations. I had to have a German Christmas Pyramid after I saw Cousin Eddie break the one in Christmas Vacation.
The Silhouette SD came in handy when my son needed to do a Pyramid Project at school. His teacher loved the machine.

The Mexican pyramid is decorated with warriors and beasts. This fellow stands proud as he guards the entrance to Epcot's Mexico adventure.
The second largest Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, built as his royal tomb by a Pharoah called Khafre (Egyptian Name) or Chephren (Greek Name). The white limestone casing is still preserved towards the apex.
The Sphinx (with a bunch of annoying birds relaxing on its face) lying at the base of the hill up to the Pyramid of Khafre.
I'm on the tallest camel in pink....love camels. Standing in front of one of the pyramids in Giza Egypt and looking out over Cairo.
Pyramid railway station on the Swan Hill line, unlike Boort this line has retained its passenger service
Taking sharp photos while on the back of a moving camel proved to be more of a challenge than I anticipated. This was the view as we rounded the desert into the Giza necropolis.
It may be a crude bulletin board with Post-It notes, but it's a start. Identifying donors and working the pyramid. We will build a skate park.
