A day in Petra, Jordan...
(on my favorite horse... such personality!)
(just the beginning of incredible structures carved into the rock...)
(Omar, my guide)
(unexpected garden high up in the mountains)
(the Siq from way above)
(Sara and me with our guides, Muhammad up top and Omar on the bottom)
(after a lovely 2-hour horse ride all the way up to the "High Place," Sara and I decided to venture off on our own to explore the rest... Omar pointed us in the right direction...)
(natural striations!)
(camels!)
(donkeys!)
(the Treasury -- see previous post for a photo of it lit by candlelight at "Petra by Night")
(yes, that camel is drinking water from a bottle)
(amphitheatre... carved out of this rock! incredible)
!
(the ceiling in one of the tombs)
(one of our new Bedouin friends insisted on this photo)
(i'm wearing my Syrian scarf)
(check out those colors!)
(a lovely nook and/or sad eyes on a wrinkled face)
(the rest of the photos are views from inside the Siq)
Phew!
