This picture taken during a trip in the Middle East, takes you to the heart of Jordan, to the mysterious city of Petra, one of the seven new wonders of the world. As you walk through the narrow gorge of the Siq, the high red rock walls slowly open up and suddenly there appears The Treasury (Al-Khazneh) in all its splendour. The soft light plays with the shades of red and orange in the stone, making it seem as if the rocks themselves are breathing. This photograph captures exactly that magical moment of wonder and stillness, when history and nature come together.
Hang this image on your wall and feel the warmth of the desert sun and the charm of the ancient Nabataean kingdom every day. Perfect as a gift for those who love travel, culture and the mystique of forgotten places. The image brings a sense of adventure, tranquillity and admiration to any room, as if you were taking a stroll through the gorge of Petra yourself.
