Giza Sphinx EG051020jhp 
 Giza Egyptian Sphinx Khafre Chephren Paws Stele sideon limestone blocks this giant carved limestone lion statue with human head is somewhat of an enigma, but most likely carved out of an outcrop as an inspirational homage to the Pharaoh Khafre some 2500BC whose pyramid is directly behind it, although some attribute it to the previous Khufu who built the first and Greatest Pyramid. This huge prone lion figure with a human face faces the east to the rising sun and the modern day Cairo and is a very popular destination for the thousands that visit the Giza plateau and here viewed from the most accessible point on causeway from Khafre Pyramid to his Valley Temple.

Sebua Temple Sideview EG051752JHP 
 Egypt Ancient Egyptian Lake Nasser es-Sebua Sideview Sideon Crown Desert is located on the shores of Lake Nasser after relocation from its previous location 2km away to avoid flooding after the creation of the High Dam in Aswan. The temple was built by Ramesses 11 of which much evidence stands as statues, sphinxes and engaged Osiride Statues in the inner courtyards. The temple was later used for Christian worship and has the curious site of Ramesses adoring St Peter in the sanctuary. This site is usually a part of a Lake Nasser cruise and begins a part of the cruise which is completed with a longish hot desert walk past this fallen statue and double crown of Ramesses to the nearby sites of Dakka and Maharraka before returning to the cruiseboat.

Red Admiral bnm9104jhp 
 Butterfly red admiral folded wings sideon underneath aristocrat buddleia Deeside Scotland summer photograph as they feed and fly between different buddleia bushes. Numbers are better this year, 2017, although still down on 20 years ago when 100plus was not unusual. So far this year I have counted over 50 at one time, mainly Peacocks and Red Admirals with a couple of Small Tortoiseshells and one Dark Green Fritillary but some good sunny spells seems to have got them active. One surprise was to find a Golden Ringed Dragonfly hanging from a buddleia early in the morning, no movement of any kind while I photographed it but it had gone 10 mins later when I came out again.
