Petra, a city cut out from rocks

Petra, Jordan

Petra (Arabic: ٱلْبَتْرَاء‎, romanizedAl-BatrāʾAncient Greek: Πέτρα, “Stone”), originally known to its inhabitants in Nabataean Aramaic as ̢𐢚𐢛𐢓𐢈 rqmwRaqēmō,[3][4] is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies around Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin surrounded by mountains which form the eastern flank of the Arabah valley that runs from the Dead Seato the Gulf of Aqaba.[5] The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC.

We set the camera on the tripod, put it on time-lapse, and then walked away from it. This was shot at 70mm. It was quite a surreal experience to be there, to say the least!
