[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The exit of the Sig (saft)to the "Treasury" at Petra Jordan
The impressive eastern entrance leads steeply down through a dark and narrow gorge (in places only 3-4 metres wide) called the Siq (the shaft), a natural geological feature formed from a deep split in the sandstone rocks and serving as a waterway flowing into Wadi Musa. At the end of the narrow gorge stands Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh (the Treasury) hewn directly out of the sandstone cliff.

Great shot, your eye is drawn down the "Sig" and you can see the small details of something more. I really like that!!!
