"Giza" A post-Apocalyptic view

Description

In 2018 I was invited by the board of tourism of Egypt to what was a trip of a lifetime. I grew up reading and learning about Egypt in text books and visiting the pyramids of Giza was a lifelong dream. Seeing them in real life was something I could not put into words. The first day in Cairo was undeniably a culture shock that excited me in many ways; the people, the architecture, the busy streets, the Nile river and the food were just the beginning of a journey that will stick with me until the day I die. On that first day during sunset, I went to the roof of the hotel I was staying and I could not believe my eyes… I heard people saying you could see the pyramids from the city but I never imagined this perspective. I stared at this breathtaking view for a good half an hour before I ran to grab my camera and took a few shots. It was later when I realized I was capturing two worlds apart by years of evolution; the old and the new, the history and the different visions of generations. I went to photograph them up close, however this perspective was my favorite because it shows how mighty the pyramids are even from afar. The haze during sunset made the city feel like some post-apocalyptic world. After 10 days in this magical country I shared some of the best moments of my life with a group of people that inspired one another and learned a lot from a country and its ancient history. An opportunity I will cherish for life. -Dimensions 5081 × 7617 -Resolution 300 × 300
