View from the Giza Pyramids.
I was lucky enough to have this wonderful view from the airplane - and also the right amount of time to take the picture :)

Eu tive muita sorte de voar por cima delas e ter esta vista maravilhosa, além de ter tido tempo suficiente para conseguir tirar esta foto :)

the magical pyramid of light

They change the lighting about every 5 seconds from magenta, green, and red I believe. I did shoot a series of 5 shots in an attempt to do an HDR. I think the second one is HDR.
Family portrait from the west, looking back through to Cairo in the distance. A well visited location from which to view and experience these most extraordinary of all human imaginings and endeavours.
To attempt to describe one's feelings on first catching a glimpse of these is to discover that it is indeed possible to be beyond the bounds of the capability of language.
Egyptian pyramids in general:
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1989,it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
For the public, these falls are most easily seen from the train connecting Vancouver to Jasper and are difficult to see otherwise. After announcements, the train slows down so that people can get a glimpse (and a good photo if ready with their camera). The creek is said to be glacial in origin and was also called Glacier Creek.
Simplify, simplify, simplify. The distant sand dune, from this angle, took on a pyramid shape.

Downtown aglow in sunrise through a Muttart Conservatory glass pyramid. There are 4 pyramids that hold plants in various biospheres here. They are all closed for renovations this year. I use to pay to go in and experience humidity occasionally.
Lucky plants!

Found this gem near Jasper National Park in Canada. Patricia lake and Pyramid Island. Got up early to see if I get lucky to get good light over sunrise. What a morning, great time to roll through the lights and sun. Enjoy!!
Pyramids at Giza, Egypt (Taken with my cell phone - Nokia Lumia 1020) Very, very Hot! Dry heat, so not too bad, but still hot.
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.*

Taken at Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. I will have limited internet access for the next six weeks, so I probably won't be able to respond to comments as I would like to.

I've just spent a few hours going back through the hard drives and looking at some images I missed from last year. Here are a few of the 40 odd images that I hope to upload in due time.
One from a local meadow.
Pyramidal orchid - Anacamptis pyramidalis, growing beside the path in the Millennium Wood, Castle Camps.
Taken at Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation with a Vivitar XV 5 and Vivitar 135mm f2.8 lens and Kodak Ektachrome. I took it last February and had the film in the camera until two weeks ago.
Volcanic boulders and Pectols Pyramid in Capitol Reef National Park.

The Bent Pyramid at Dashur, built for Snefru, on a hazy winter morning. The locally quarried masonry from which most of the monument is built is exposed at its crumbling base, with higher-quality imported limestone for the external sheathing. An unusual amount of this sheathing layer is still intact, in part due to Dashur's remote location. In contrast, the pyramids at Giza were largely stripped of their sheathing materials for reuse in Medieval and later buildings in Cairo.
Old Kingdom, 4th Dynasty, late 27th/early 26th century BCE, Dashur.
The Red Pyramid at Dashur was the third attempt at a pyramid for Snefru, the inaugural 4th Dynasty ruler who (rather madly) ordered the largest construction spree in human history via continual tomb-building projects. Two previous tombs appear to have been abandoned, with the collapse of a partially completed steep-walled pyramid at Meidum, and then the unused Bent pyramid about 2km to the south. The latter's angle was found to be too steep midway during construction and was adjusted to lower angle on its upper half; the Red Pyramid has this same angle (43°) throughout but a larger footprint, bringing it to equal the 105m height of the Bent Pyramid. The result was evidently the first straight-sided true pyramid. Though it was immediately surpassed by the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Red Pyramid remains the third largest ever completed.
4th Dynasty, early 26th century BCE, Dashur.
