21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A Vista for the Gods

The shot shows Cairo and its sister city Giza as seen from the Grand Nile Tower just after sunset. Almost disappearing in the distance and yet still towering over the city after 4.500 years, you can see the pyramids protruding from the Giza plateau. Old meets new civilization.
