Lens-Artists Challenge: Everyone should see…Petra
For many years, the ‘rose-red city’ of Petra, in Jordan, was right at the top of my bucket list. I finally made it for my 60th birthday.
The main approach to the city is through a narrow path called the ‘Siq’, which runs for about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 kilometres in the new money) between two high and rocky outcrops which, for most of the way, is all you can see. But then you round a slight curve in the path and there is your first glimpse of the Nabatean Treasury. Not something easily forgotten…
Lens-Artists Challenge: Everyone Should See This

What an experience that must have been, discovering Petra after the long walk! It’s a great picture, a nice response to the challenge.
You’ve added to my list of “must see” places! Thanks for sharing this image.
Agree wholeheartedly, Petra is quite simply spectacular, and the first sight of the treasury is jaw-dropping. I too wish everyone could see it!
