Sudan : Pyramids Photo

Photographer’s Note

I still need to show you some of the pictures of the beauties that are hidden in Sudan!

On the way from Khartoum to Port Sudan, about 200 km north-east of Khartoum, near Bagrawiya, lies ancient Meroe, the home of a few dozens pyramids spread over a small hill about one quarter square kilometer in size. The pyramids, much smaller than their well-known counterparts in Egypt, are the remains of a royal cemetery from the Meroitic kingdom (between 300 B.C. and 300 A.D.).

Try a polarizer and a more creative composition - this is a winning spot though! You've made me want to visit it.

This one is ok but I have now just found your other images of sudan pyramids. I have mark the one I like.
This one lacks that extra bit when it comes to composition

Sorry Simon

I liked this photo, the monuments are very interesting and the light and sharpness are very nice. I think it would be better with a crop with less sky and less ground
