This is one of my favourite photographs. Yes, it is the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza plateau in Egypt, the oldest and the sole surviving seven wonders of the ancient world. I had anticipated a long and arduous coach ride from our hotel but in less than an hour, the hugh pyramid loomed right in front of us! Two other smaller pyramids houses the tomb of Khufu's successors respectively, that of Khafre and Menkaure. There is also the the Great Sphinx, a gigantic structure of a human-headed lion. The compound of the sphinx is out of bound for tourits. We had to jostle our way in to this platform for a nice photo shot. Beautiful, isn't it? Life is beautiful! (photo taken in November 2003)
