Not quite certain where this one should go as a forum topic since the only terrestrial objects in the image are man made.
The subject structure has long been known as the Qasr al-bint Far'oun (castle of the pharaoh's daughter) and is located at the west end of the main street in the Nabataean city of Petra. Centuries after Petra was abandoned most of the original names were lost and pretty anything that was large was attributed to Egyptian Pharaohs and their families. In reality it is a temple dedicated to a god named Dushares commonly worshipped around 2000 years ago on the Arabian Peninsula.
In this case I had some nice lighting in the evening and spent a few shots trying to get some shots with the moon over the remains of the archway at the building entrance.
Slide scanned from Kodachrome 25 using a Canon 5Dmk IV on a copy stand.
C&C always welcome.
