Jordan. (re-edit) April • 2006

Spent some time over the weekend doing a deep re-edit of my images made in Petra (4) and Amman, Jordan (bottom 4) back in 2006 while there for a medical client. (I was briefly living in Mombasa, Kenya at the time.) It sure was sweet to examine these images again, especially since most were shot on RAW. Another 100 or so images to ship to the agency. Here are a few favorites. ~cg.










The Treasury (El-Khazneh) in Petra, Jordan on Friday, April 28, 2006. Petra is considered the most famous and gorgeous site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba. It is the legacy of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, Petra is now a UNESCO world heritage site that enchants visitors from all corners of the globe.
