    This photo was taken in 2007 at Karnak temple (Egypt. Africa). The Karnak temple complex, universally known only as Karnak, describes a vast conglomeration of ruined temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings. It is located near Luxor in Egypt. This was ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut (“The Most Selected of Places”), the main place of worship of the Theban Triad with Amun as its head, in the monumental city of Thebes. The complex retrieves its current name from the nearby and partly surrounding modern village of el-Karnak, some 2.5km north of Luxor. / The complex is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world. It is probably the second most visited historical site in Egypt, second only to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo. It consists of four main parts (precincts) of which only one is accessible for tourists and the general public. This is the Precinct of Amun-Re, and this it is also the main part of the complex and by far the largest part. The term Karnak is often understood as being the Precinct of Amun-Re only, as this is the only part most visitors normally see. The three other parts, the Precinct of Montu, the Precinct of Mut and the Temple of Amenhotep IV (dismantled), are closed to the public. There also are a few smaller temples and sanctuaries located outside the enclosing walls of the four main parts, as well as several avenues of human and ram-headed sphinxes connecting the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Amon-Re, and Luxor Temple. / The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction work began in the 16th century BC. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming.

  • "Imagination rules the world" by Miss Tash

    This gorgeous little one, was dressed up as a street performer outside a small temple in Udaipur India. Her eyes say it all- she didn’t smile once whilst dancing, from what I could see she had no immediate family with her other than an elderly person whom possibly could have been a Grandparent who was also disabled. From the little change people would spare her, she would pass it on immediately to this elderly man.

About This Group

Images and writing from exotic locations, people, iconography and architecture.

What I would imagine people who joined this group share is a passion of discovery. Travel is an opportunity to experience new things. To be thrown out of your comfort zone, learn adaption and observe the way different societies and cultures live out their lives. See how human diversity expresses itself in architecture and monuments, fashion and tradition, everyday life. I would imagine it’s these sort of things that are represented in this gallery by art and photography. Plus the spirit of adventure thats encompassed in getting off a bus or plane at a new location, smelling the air and those first few moments of excitement you get as you notice the differences.

Some Guidelines to Help:
Firstly I want to thank our members for providing some fantastic work so far, there’s everything from the iconic and powerful to the sincere and personal representations of travel experience.

I’d like to paint a thin line around what sort of content should appear here. And I want to make this the responsibility of the contributor, I don’t want this group to be filled with the automatic click every box type images that could be seen in any and every other group.

If you can’t look at the image your contributing and be convinced that it’s a reflection of a new experience gained by travel then it probably shouldn’t be here.

For example, I certainly wouldn’t expect pictures of the family dog.

This particular category is highly coupled with the literary essence of travel so I’d like to see more emphasis put on story telling, yes an image speaks a thousand words..but can it form a sentence?

At a bare minimum, images will have a description stating where they were taken.

There is a 10 images and 10 writing piece limitation per member. So you will need to consider your future contributions, and perhaps cycle your work a bit.

Thanks guys and all the best..
