I was ready to head home and I saw this scene and just HAD to get a shot of it.
I wish Disney Sea allowed tripods inside the theme park. This was as sharp as I could get it.
The main Pyramid with the first two levels stacked together.

This pyramid is very steep. The tour group approaches with some trepidation, but the guide thinks it's no big deal.
Pyramids are regarded as being burial monuments. The shape of Egyptian pyramids denote the primal mound from which the Earth is believed to have originated. The shape also represents the rays of the sun. The Egyptians often named the pyramids in ways referring to sunlight. According to a certain theory, the pyramids provide means of resurrection. A shaft that extends from the burial chamber towards the sky is believed to be a way for the journey of the dead pharaoh’s soul to the heavens. The ancient Egyptians called the pyramids as ‘mer’, meaning Egypt itself. This reflects the close relationship of Egyptian pyramids with their culture.

This in a view of the IBM buildings in Somers NY from 684 heading South West from 84. See the tiny pyramids on top of the trees?
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.

Detail of the west face of the Bent Pyramid with the pyramid's second, western entrance seen ta the centre of shot. The Bent Pyramid is unique amongst those of the Old Kingdom in having 2 entrances. Whilst there is no obvious ritual reason for this feature, it has been speculated that this was a result of the same change in design as resulted in the change in the angle of ascent, that gives rise to its distinctive "bent" shape. Needless to say, this entrance is not accessible.
My goal this year was to get an "even burn" as the grillmaster. However this turned out to be more of an uneven burn than ever before. If you grill with charcoal... just dump it in a pile. I may or may not have spent 10 minutes setting this up... according to Mark.
Pyramids on top of the Zeckendorf Towers apartment building on 14th Street and the top of the Empire State Building. I'm getting more and more impressed with the image stabilization system on my new Panasonic camera. This was shot hand-held at full telephoto from Astor Place.
Compiled from one of my Pyramid pictures, a P&S picture of a co-worker, and some creative and meticulous text formatting. This was a practice photo for Myk. I will upload that one when it is done.
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.
