Wouldn't you know it rained the day we were there!...The chances would be extremely slim...it is a desert after all.
At the foot of the great pyramid stands a deserted building, deprived of its windows and doors, sad in its loneliness, missing its former owner.
That building used to be the rest house of king Farouk, which he visited often at evenings, to play cards and to dwell with friends.
I deal with this photo very often within my PhD thesis. I am supposed to be writing about ancient Egyptian tombs,,,,but each time I look to the photo, I see nothing else except the sad empty house of king Farouk.
Behold, sand is approaching from the north,,,it will probably cover the building soon,,,and what will remain of it is only for future excavators to astonish at: The tale of a(once upon a time) king.
Bad hayfever day, but couldn't resist checking on our local lizards. And not far from the ones which were tightly furled buds, the pyramid buds here were bursting open and living up to their name.

The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline.
Built on the location of the historic Montgomery Block, it has a structural height of 260 meters (853 ft) and contains 48 floors of retail and office space. Construction began in 1969 and finished in 1972. It is currently ranked as the 100th tallest building in the world. Transamerica moved their headquarters to the new building from across the street, where they used to be based in another pyramid-shaped building now occupied by the Church of Scientology of San Francisco.
Step Pyramid of Djoser near Cairo, Egypt. This friendly camel decided to pose for me. The horse declined to follow suite. Shot with a simple point and shoot.
Pyramid Mountain is a mountain in Jasper National Park, Canada named for its pyramid-like shape. James Hector named the mountain in 1859 due to its appearance from the Athabasca River valley on the eastern side of the peak.[1]
Part of the Victoria Cross Range in the Athabasca River Valley the mountain is in the major headwater for the Athabasca River. The peak is just under 10 km (6 mi) north-west of the town of Jasper.
The mountain is a relatively easy scramble on the eastern slopes. These slopes can be reached by following a steep fire road from the parking lot at Pyramid Lake, 4.5 km (3 mi) South-East of the peak.

Le musée du Louvre, inauguré en 1793 sous l'appellation Muséum central des arts de la République dans le palais du Louvre, ancienne résidence royale située au centre de Paris, est aujourd'hui le plus grand musée d'art et d'antiquités au monde. Sa surface d'exposition est de 72 735 m.
Fin 2016, ses collections comprenaient 554 731 œuvres, dont 35 000 exposées et 264 486 œuvres graphiques. Celles-ci présentent l'art occidental du Moyen Âge à 1848, celui des civilisations antiques qui l'ont précédé et influencé (orientales, égyptienne, grecque, étrusque et romaine), les arts des premiers chrétiens et de l'Islam.
Situé dans le 1er arrondissement de Paris, sur la rive droite entre la Seine et la rue de Rivoli, le musée se signale par la pyramide de verre de son hall d'accueil, érigée en 1989 dans la cour Napoléon et qui en est devenue emblématique, tandis que la statue équestre de Louis XIV constitue le point de départ de l'axe historique parisien.
En 2017, avec environ 8,1 millions de visiteurs annuels, le Louvre est le musée le plus visité au monde. Il est le site culturel payant le plus visité de France. Parmi ses pièces les plus célèbres figurent La Joconde, la Vénus de Milo, Le Scribe accroupi, La Victoire de Samothrace et le Code de Hammurabi.
Le Louvre possède une longue histoire de conservation artistique et historique, depuis l'Ancien Régime jusqu'à nos jours. À la suite du départ de Louis XIV pour le château de Versailles à la fin du xviie siècle, on y entrepose une partie des collections royales de tableaux et de sculptures antiques. Après avoir durant un siècle hébergé plusieurs académies dont celle de peinture et de sculpture, ainsi que divers artistes logés par le roi, l'ancien palais royal est véritablement transformé sous la Révolution en « Muséum central des arts de la République ». Il ouvre en 1793 en exposant environ 660 œuvres, essentiellement issues des collections royales ou confisquées chez des nobles émigrés ou dans des églises. Par la suite les collections ne cesseront de s'enrichir par des prises de guerre, acquisitions, mécénats, legs, donations, et découvertes archéologiques.
Le musée compte pour sa gestion 2 091 employés (fonctionnaires, contractuels et vacataires), dont 1 232 agents de surveillance, un garde pour chacune des 403 salles d’exposition, que complètent les effectifs affectés aux 900 caméras du système de télésurveillance
