Egypt - The Philae Temple at Night

The beautiful Temple of Isis (the Goddess of health, marriage and wisdom), which was rescued from the rising waters of the Nile and relocated on Philae Island. It's a marvel of decorative pylons featuring some of Egypt's finest carvings – definitely one of the real gems of Upper Egypt. It was especially stunning at the light show at night. I was standing to the side to affoid people in my photos. A security guard came over and brought me to the front. Of course he wanted a tip. But that was nice. There was not a ton of people at this evening show, so dodging people was not a big deal.
