This vertical photograph shows an iconic and historic scene: the famous treasure chamber of Petra in Jordan, partially visible between the narrow, red-coloured rock walls of the Siq - the narrow gorge that leads to this archaeological treasure. The image was taken from the shadow of the gorge, creating a dramatic contrast between the dark rock in the foreground and the sunlit, pale pink sandstone facade of the temple in the background.
The facade of the monumental building is richly decorated with columns, reliefs and statues characteristic of classical Nabataean architecture. The composition is carefully chosen: the temple is partially framed by the rock walls, evoking a sense of discovery - as if the viewer is in a moment of revelation. The texture of the rock is clearly visible, with natural grooves, colour variations and smooth erosion patterns underlining the ancient character of this site.
Warm colour tones of red, orange and pink dominate the scene, enhanced by the soft light falling along the gorge. The photograph exudes mysticism, wonder and historical depth. It invites you to go further, deeper into history, along the ancient paths of one of the wonders of the world.
                                
 
                                
                                        I am Annick and live in picturesque Brielle.
I would like to share my passion for photography on this. Landscape,  animals or a newborn shoot,  I enjoy everything equally in front of my lens...
