Interesting perspectives indeed! As a photographer, this is how I feel: If you want a feeling of mystery/magnanimity, then take a close frame. But, if you want to show the big picture/explain why something/someone is happening/behaving the way they do, then take the big frame.

Beautiful, beautiful photographs. As in life – close up isn’t always best, sometimes you need to step away to see the big picture . Thanks for sharing so many gorgeous perspectives! ~Karen~

I have been to Egypt and was so surprise that the Giza praymaids were ever so close to Cairo! The shots always look to me as if they are way out in the desert sand, but you can see otherwise. I am sure that the Egyptians just take them for granted as we would too. The tourist business is a huge part of the economy. Not sure many tourists are visiting now with the political uprising. I loved it there but don’t think I would go now. Professor always says ” I don’t want to be anyone’s political statement! ” Me either. . . . . .

You gave us lots to think about, along with a collection of such beauty and majesty, too. I like the ones where they are more traditional, like the pyraminds straight on, not from the sky looking down. Doesn’t that show that I am not as creative as I should be? Hmmm… The Mont St. Michel all lit up was the most gorgeous one and my favorite of all!

You are sweet. I wish I had taken these pictures. . . . I have been to many of the sites. It amazed us that the Giza pyramids were just on the edge of one of the world’s largest cities. . . . Cairo !

I know! Someone who travelled to Egypt told me that it’s not as glamorous as it seems in the pictures .. It’s just large structures by the city .. I have always wanted to go there , as long as I can remember

Professor said that he had wanted to visit Egypt for his whole life for the history and of course the pyramids, but after 20 minutes he couldn’t wait to leave ! But he loved India….I loved Egypt too as we made some people connections which is what I love. Sadly Egypt is not very safe now with the turmoil. I hope they gain their democracy. Someone in the past told us that Egypt and India were comparable with density , chaos, traffic, poverty. Both pretty intense. . . .

Hopefully, things will get better there. They desperately need the tourists as it is the main revenue in the country
