Temple at Night -- Kom Ombo
All lit up against the sky as the Sun sinks
ever lower in the West, the columns rise, shrouded in antiquity...
(cough)
Sorry, I got an historian stuck in my throat.
As with Edfu temple, you can tell this is
a later construction by looking at the tops of the hypostiles.
See how the capitals are intricately carved to look like a papyrus
flower, rather than just roughly shaped like one (like the ones
we saw in Karnak?) Bingo.
