I haven't looked in for a while but i'm glad I didn't leave it much later or I would have missed this little gem,It is a lovely understated painting, you really are talented Seok.

A very thoughtful departure from the more obvious tourist view of Hatshepsut's awe-inspiring temple.

Man sitting on the ramparts of the Queen Hatshepsut's temple, near Aswan, Egypt. Hatshepsut was one of ancient Egypt's most famous and powerful queens who ruled, not as a queen but as a Pharoah. The temple was built by the architect, Senenmut, and historians have speculated that he was Hatshepsut's lover. Graffiti carved by the original temple workmen near this site provided fodder for such gossip. The truth remains the Queen's secret.
