The theme in The Gallery this week is Phone Photos. The only rule being it should have been taken on your phone.
On our holiday to Jordan over a year ago we took a trip to Petra and did the amazing walk up to the Treasury. It’s an amazing historic city full of of insights into a forgotten civilisation. Most people come thinking there are a few key monuments to see. Myself included. Once we’d seen the very grand Treasury we found a little cafe to rest my weary feet. This was our view:
The entire cliff is full of caves and carvings made mainly for tombs. There are numerous walkways all the way up which are, to this day, safe to walk along. I got about half way up and then pottered back down again in the mid day sun whilst the hubby decided to venture right to the top where some of the more “esteemed” tombs were housed once upon a time. I sat sipping my water in the cafe and realised hubby had taken the camera with him so snapped with my phone. Hubby came down an hour later with about 200 snaps of caves. Took ages to go through them all!

Its amazing what kind of photos you can take with a camera phone isn’t it- some of my favourites are from my iphone! x
It is, I’m not sure what we did without them!
Wow that’s stunning!
Looks absolutely beautiful, never would have guessed that the photo was taken on a phone! xx
Wow a stunning photo, with a wonderful memory attached to it. What did we do before camera phones?
I know, I guess probably carried around our bulky cameras… Or just not bothered.
What a fab place to visit – jealous!
Petra is definitely one of the places I want to visit. Your photo gives a feel for how huge that cliff is.
It’s massive, and amazing to see how people used to live.
That is amazing1 I would love to go there. x
We want to go to Petra but think we need to wait until the kids are a bit older. Great photo.
Yep, there’s loads of walking. Definitely better when then go about a mile before wanting to be picked up!
200 cave snaps sounds like something my husband would enjoy…..LOL. Great pic tho!
