I take millions of pictures of buildings but I never know stuff like "the architecture is three different types of historic designs." That type of information always increases awe.

I’m also very drawn to buildings as photography subjects—every time I look at my camera roll I tell myself that I need to take less pictures of buildings and more of people! I obviously gave myself a pass for this one because the design was so interesting.

Why should it be? People breathe and die,

they come, and they go. Faithless."

Enjoyed looking at the sun drenched photos while drinking my morning coffee on a rainy day here in New Jersey. I never would have associated this palace with Egypt! Thanks for sharing its history.
