The Pyramid of Zoser or Step pyramid is an archeological
remain in the Saqqara and was the first Egyptian pyramid. It was considered the
earliest stone pyramid and was built by the architect --Imhotep.

What could be better than riding a donkey for a buck while posing in front of the Pyramid of Zoser :-) |

Wow! The pictures are amazing. I will have to add the pyramids to my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a must have in the list!
Deletewow... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Hilary!
DeleteThose are awesome and frame worthy pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit and nice words, Wayne.
DeleteI have always wanted to visit far off exotic places like to see the sphinx or pyramids of Egypt. How cool is this or what, you're doing these sorts of things. I'm green with envy..well not really. lol I'm too much of coward to climb on an airplane to visit these, so I'm thankful I can visit faraway place through the camera lens of others. Joining you via HIlary's FFFFF!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy! Perhaps someday, you will find somewhere that you can't resist so airplane would be a piece of cake for you :-)
Deletecool pictures (even though it looks hot in that environment!) I'm curious how donkeys are to ride ...
ReplyDeleteIt was weird but then I think horses are weird too :-)
DeleteYes, it was 110 degree -HOT!!!
*riding horses.
DeleteWow! That is really cool! I love visiting historic places like that, and you have really managed to get some great photos of this amazing pyramid.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! :-)
And I love your photos visiting the Greece as well.
DeleteIt would be nice to personally touch and see a piece of history like this, and sit on a donkey too! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Indeed and donkey is a really important transportation for the Nubians still.
DeleteOoh, are you posting from Egypt? Looks awfully hot. I bet the whole area has a kind of resonance more modern places don't have. Being an absolute mad lunatic animal lover, I would've spent a little time giving the donkey some attention : )
ReplyDeleteI bet you would.
DeleteAwesome pictures..I love these adventures "with" you. I was struck by the scaffolding! I had no idea they did repairs to these treasures. I learn something new each day for sure...LOVE the donkey...
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely very detailed oriented person, Winnie!
DeletePretty Pretty Pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes Yes Yes!
DeleteCool pictures!! Thank you for taking me along on your journey. I always feel like I have actually been somewhere when I visit your blog which is just plain awesome.

ReplyDeleteSomehow that 'cute' donkey is the center of the attention here :-)
DeleteCute pic on the donkey! I thought it was a skull...
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a skull, now that you've mentioned it.
