Picture of the Week #54 "Sitting by the Great Pyramid" Giza, Egypt 1989 Signed and Stamped

Traveling around the world after my art show in Tokyo Japan, one of the "had to" stops was of course the great Pyramids in Giza. I remember when I was being driven to my Hotel, the Mina House Oberoi, I saw the Pyramids out the car window. I was flabbergasted. Then, when the bell hop opened my shutters there were the Pyramids right across the street. I had always thought that they were out in the middle of the desert. I immediately grabbed my cameras and headed out. Instantly, I was accosted by beggars and street urchins asking for me to give them money or to hire them as my guide. I chose one young, maybe 14 year old, with his own camel and off we went. One of the views I vividly remember was how majestic and humbling these man made wonders are. That's when I saw this couple sitting like specs against the monumental side of the Great Pyramid. You can't help but wonder how they built it.
