Artist's Description

There's no way around it. The early morning trek from Aswan to see Abu Simbel was not a highlight. However, it was entirely worth it to stand before these ancient statues of Ramses II in the early morning sun. In fact, I don't recall ever having a tour that was so perfectly timed for arrival with the rising sun. Seeing a temple built to honor the only pharaoh who was given the epithet 'the great' was amazing on its own, but seeing it literally glowing such warm gold and orange hues in the early morning was just breath-taking.

These statues of Ramses and the temple beyond them were carved out of a mountain two thousand years ago to impress the neighbors to the south. And even in a ruined state, they are still pretty impressive today, don't you think? Imagine carving all of this with hand tools from statues to hieroglyphs! I wouldn't even know where to begin with modern implements. You have to admire the skills of the ancient Egyptian artisans. Wow!

About Mark Tisdale

Mark Tisdale

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist. That was five years ago! Is it easy? No, but something truly worthwhile is rarely simple. My body of work is wide ranging from photographic scenes of far away places, more near and dear locations, and more fanciful artwork. It's all crafted with a heartfelt love for finding the beauty in little captured moments. My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art. Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...
