Dear Gert,

WS 2 was more in your style, maybe because of the human presence and personally I like it better, its more unique and has a strong atmosphere. However, the main upload is good enough too,it is a fair postcard. Sometimes we have to show them too!

Best Wishes,
Gy.

gert

these choices for vote are ever distorted. it is the same about who is the better singer or the better song, what is the most beautiful people or town... if you like shows and gambling Vegas is one of 7 wonders. haha.
anyway this is a special place, for sure. I never had seen the ruins from this angle, including columns and many carved buildings ahead.
marvelous view. the last WS is more beautiful, but it is more classic and usual too. I liked the sense of movement of the second WS.

take care

jorge

Hello Gert,

Your old pictures become better and better, maybe get you scan better instructions.
Your picture is superb as well of colours as composition.
I learn very day through your old pictures.
Very well done. TFS.

Have a nice Sunday,
John.

Hej Gert,
Et udmærket billede af underværket. Kompositionen er meget god på grund af søjlerne på højre side som giver dybde til billedet og hjælper med at rette blikket mod de fantastiske bygniger hugget ud af bjergsiden. Lyset og den blå himmel er også dejlige.

Hello Gert,
For some reason, this street reminded of the street that leads to the (now silted out) port of Ephesus. In place of the huge amphitheatre, we have a rock facade filled with carved tombs. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello Gert,

I can imagine that after emerging from the narrow pathway, when it opened up into this, it must have taken your breath away! What remarkably skilled stonemasons they must have been to achieve such beautiful buildings, still withstanding the test of time.
The pillars are nicely placed and must have had a awe inspiring impact when they were complete! They sort of dramatise the passage to the tombs.
I couldn't help wondering about the guy on the camel; to him, this view was probably so normal, so everyday, whilst to us, its breathtaking!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Gert
I loved this series, it can't be the last post, you haven't posted a photo of the Treasury yet!
Seriously though, I really like the composition here with the mysterious tombs in the distance and the lines of columns in the foreground. The blue sky contrasts with the dun of the landscape and the man with a camel adds life (is it a donkey in the background?). You would be hard-pushed to photograph this place with just one man with a camel these days. Both this and the WS image of the Monastery look pretty match how those places look like today except the street in the main photo is lined with souvenir shops (and one restaurant serving really nice juice where they let me buy a whole lemon I needed so much for my tea and couldn't find anywhere else...).
My favourite is the b&w WS though. It's got a real Lawrence of Arabia feel.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Gert,
Those ruins are the most visited site in Jordan, though I never been there despite the relative short driving distance from home.
Fine scan under the blazing desert sun. Besides people - the camel enliven the scene.
My best regards,
ike

Hello Gert, Fantastic quality of this old picture. Maybe the colours are not as I remember them. Beautiful view of the monastery. Have you climbed all these 800 steps?? I didn't because I was with the group and I have heavy rain and hail there and I had to be evacuated by police on camels, so my experience was quite unique (but not good for photos). Judging from the various pictures, Petra is more attractive than Madain Saleh.
I could make the series of all these seven wonders, I have seen them all :).
