Today's photo-of-the-day is from Karnak Temple in Luxor, Egypt. The two upright obelisks were erected by Thutmose I (reign c. 1520 - 1492 BCE) and Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BCE). I don't know the story of the third obelisk lying flat on the ground. Something about erectile dysfunction, I'm sure.

Today's photo-of-the-day is the Hypostyle Hall of Karnak Temple in Luxor, Egypt. It dates to c. 1290-1224 BCE. It covers an area of 54,000 sq ft. The roof, now fallen, was supported by 134 columns, the tallest being 79 ft. high. Despite the size, with all those columns, it felt like it would have been crowded inside.

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Luxor, Egypt. Just a roadside street market.
Edwin St. John St. Andrew, eighteen years old, hauling the weight of
his double-sainted name across the Atlantic by steamship, eyes
narrowed against the wind on the upper deck: he holds the railing with
gloved hands, impatient for a glimpse of the unknown, trying to
discern something—anything!—beyond sea and sky, but all he sees are
shades of endless gray."
