The photographer captures a building known for its slimline architecture from a unique perspective. Filling the frame to create abstract, distorted, diagonal lines that are centrally aligned by a central, straight, vertical composition. The vertical flip creates a disorientating feeling in an otherwise internationally familiar cityscape.
It's rare to find a photo that could've been taken a thousand years earlier or later. This is a timeless image that I can truly feel. The light blasts through the texture of the sand in the wind - it's as though you can hear this photo, yet - it is peaceful. The imposing shadows of the pyramids and the naturally landscaped sand formations in the foreground perfectly frame and compliment the central subject.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1001+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** If you’ve ever found yourself standing in front of the Taj Mahal; looking up the Champs Elysees at the Arc de Triomphe; or looking out across the Grand Canyon, you may have had a strong sense of deja vu. More than ever before, the combination of cheap travel, ubiquitous digital cameras, and the internet has meant that we’ve seen these views and many more hundreds or thousands of time before we’ve ever visited them ourselves. You may have stood in the most obvious and used spot for shooting from, or you may have found an unfamiliar viewpoint.
