Once you pass the Roman Amphitheater heading into the basin that Petra occupies you encounter a small side canyon named Wadi Farasa. Wadi Farasa itself is going to be a topic all by itself in another thread but first up is a facade called the Renaissance Tomb because of the designs the Nabataeans employed here.
What's also neat from a photographic perspective is the colorful erosion that make the tomb facade look like it's melting. Obviously this is not desirable if you are in the preservation business for the Jordanian Dept. of Antiquities but I'm not so I'll enjoy the view.
Inclusion of someone in the scene was common practice for us while photographing to add some sense of scale. My original intent when I shot this was to use this slide for lectures on Petra instead of fine art landscape photography.
C&C always welcome.
