Petra

Christmas Day at Petra: the Treasury at the end of the Siq, then the long climb to the Monastery.

The Treasury at Petra, a columned facade carved into rose-coloured rock, seen from the narrow canyon with visitors small at its base
The Treasury, seen the way everyone first sees it: the Siq opens and there it is.
The Monastery at Petra, a broad carved facade in pale rock, with a person in the foreground looking up at it
The Monastery, eight hundred steps later.
