Petra la rose

[chani]

Autumn is here...it's cooling down and I caught a cold! I keep sneezing and blowing my nose. So I needed to remember the heat of Jordan. More pictures of Petra to come....soon.

First El Kazhneh

 

And here's the incredible sandstone of Petra (oh Lynn I picked up many stones in Jordan! I'm sure you'd love to see my collections...).

 

El Kazhneh and me!

The camels behind me were wearing numbers and one wore number 5 on his neck...he kept rolling on the ground and farting....so of course I had to come up with the "pun of the day":

"N ° 5 de Camel ! "

Is that Indiana Jones in the first picture? LOL!! Lovely photos. I've always wanted to go there... maybe one day.

Alas no, not Indy! Just a stupid man who didn't bloody get I was taking a picture.

But if you look behind me on the right, you can see a fence and apile of sand...when we came back in the evening (the stone is really very pink then but there wasn't enough light to take pictures)ther were an archaelogist and his workers digging. They still find stuff (tombs mostly) every day in Petra.

Hee, I love this! Your pictures give this massive feeling of scale to the walls. I love that you are sharing these. I so want to do Syria and Jordan one day.

Wow! Amazing pictures.

Is it bad that I want to go rock-climbing now?

To resize a picture:

<img src="http://link-to-my-picture.com/picture.jpg" width="#" height="#">

The # you replace by the pixelsize you wish for your pictures (this is a number!). Best is to simply divide the actual height and width by two (because you have to keep the original proportions of course).

You can also resize in a photo manip program...

Fabulous shots. I'm very jealous (in an innocent nice way;-) of your trip. I will take a trip like this some day. I promise myself.

And you look very cool in that pic in front of the camels.

Très belles photos.

Et j'espère que tu guériras vite de ton rhume.

Very cool pics! Thanks for sharing!

Beautious! ;~)

So the sandstone is cemented by carbonate.... makes sense.

You really look the part of the explorer there... *smooch*
