Yes, love it. Great image on several levels. A reveal of structure carved from rock, a reveal of a temple, the comfort of home, a reveal of the warmth of heaven... Good, befitting toning as well.

Gorgeous and rugged area. My then girlfriend & I worked on an archæological site in the region in early 1985. By which I mean she worked and I carried stuff around and took photos.  :)  (She has all the photos, many of which I took for use in her work.)

It must have been interesting and exhausting work.
Hope you folks were there in winter!

The photographs you made would make a nice book.

Thanks Dave. And stay well.

Short flight from my place.
And only in winter do I venture in them parts!

Best.

p.s. the desert temps drop fast in winter nights, and freezing winds and cold is not unusual.
