Egypt, The Land of Enchantment

Description
-
Rising into the pale blue sky, the ruins of an Egyptian structure lay in the desert sun. The scattered pillars and shattered statues are mostly yellow and oranges, the colors of sandstone and the desert associated with Egyptian architecture. Sparse vegetation dots the ground in between the background of ruins and the more open foreground. Standing in the shadows beneath the colossal structures, decorated with an artistic representation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, stands a man wearing pale blue robes and a white turban-like hat.
This man, minuscule in comparison with the grand and deteriorating structures, provides both a size comparison with the structure itself being much larger than would be assumed without the inclusion of a human figure.
The manner in which the pillars and ruins are organized, via shadow and lighting, draws the eye into the image, between the weathered stones and pillars of a culture passed. The mysterious interior of this shattered structure has an exotic and enchanting allure, drawing the viewer in visually as well as imaginatively.
