1908/2008 James S. Lee (1908) - Henk Bril

The Temple of Luxor in 1908 and in 2008

Luxor, Egypt

The picture of 1908 (or earlier) is taken from the inspiring book
'Egypt and its Monuments' by Robert Hichens, published in October 1908,
and printed in 1920 by Hodder & Stoughton, London.

I tried to retake the picture, but a century ago James S. Lee was able to
climb higher than is nowadays allowed, so I wasn't able to match his exact
position for taking a picture.
