Description
I made a solemn promise before I went to Petra, Jordan that I would not take the same picture that thousands of visitors before me had taken and which has been published all over the world. No I would resist the temptation and do my own thing. Well I kept my promise until I walked through the slot canyons of steepling rock and then turned the bend. I thought (as our American cousins might say) Oh my God. It was an awesome sight. So I just had to take it.Come on now admit it. You would have done the same thing. And you wouldn't have to decide for yourself where the best spot to take it from was. Just look down and you can clearly see the well-worm three tripod spots. Just stand in the middle.

Yes! Did the same thing - just not that good! Petra is a hoot! The rest of Jordan does not really live up to that!
