It is almost possible to stand with one foot in the cultivation and the other in the desert. The edge of the cultivation marks the limit of the old Nile innundation, now cut off by the Aswan high dam.
Ramesseum, lower right, Colossi of Memnon in the ground haze, lower left of the yellow baloon.

Lenka has commented that the Colossi are off shot. She is correct. Wazza shreaded every pixel to confirm it. Age related degeneration, thats what it is. BTW take a look at Lenkas site : http://www.st-maat.org/
It is gorgeous. Ed.
