[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We may never know exactly how the magnificent pyramids were built, but each visit to them, and to attend the «Pyramids Sound and Light Show» is an enchanting experience not to be missed.

The photo I’ve chosen for today was taken at the end of the «Pyramids Sound and Light Show» happened in a Cairo’s night last summer.

And in truth I can tell you my TL friends, if you see this show in the end of a journey to Egypt, the way you feel it will be pure magic.

I took the picture when I was still under the magic effect of what I’ve seen and heard.

Olá José,
Very interesting night photo. Magic effect. Very good B/W and sepia filter picture. Amazing lights. TFS.
Parabéns !!
Um abraco, Zsú

that's why they belong to the seven wonders of the world!
nice capture! the shot needs a bit more clarity, though. but I guess that taking a photograph by night, at a precise moment is not one of the easiest things to do. well done!
TFS!

Very moody shot, Jose - I like the lighting here and dark tones - unusual picture of the pyramids, we can't see many works like this here, so it makes you as an author of this photo even more original:)
Bravo!
Best regards,
Izabela

I almost didn't open up this thumbnail, but am glad I did. This nocturnal view adds to the mystique and history of these structures. Unique shot and well done.

Olá José.
I can imaging how you felt afterwards. It shows really spectable.
Pity the picture is on the dark side, to shows whats all about.
Music still cant be heard by TL, haha

Wow Jose that is one super shot.
Converting to monochrome adds to the mystery.
Well done
Dot

Great mood. Sometimes there are places bigger than man. They are at the same of the humanity and the feeling of the singular person. Great.

my regards

teresat

Wonderful omninous mood here José,
the tones and darkenss, and light only where it matters,
enough to know where you are.
It's a brilliant idea, well executed.

Hi Jose
Indeed the B/W choice inspires this feeling you describe together with the shadows and the few specially chosen details to illuminate
