The pyramid is really far off in the distance and certainly MUCH bigger than the actual Sphinx! There are always archeologists (Egyptian and international) working on the sphinx and the sites around the pyramids - collecting data, trying to preserve and uncovering new things.

Interesting, unique angle! Is that a scaffold to our right of the sphinx? Are they doing something to preserve these great monuments?

On a small computer screen the detail is lost - this is not a complaint, by the way - I think its a photo that deserves BIGness to truly reflect the subject and show the absolute detail the sphinx's pockmarked skin and the pyramid's sand-bitten walls. If nothing else, it occurs to me that these structures are here to prove the passing and passing and passing of time.
