Statue of Ramses II ラムセス2世の偶像 (memphis)
Posted by timothy sullivan (Tokyo, Japan) on 23 April 2009 in Art & Design.
After visiting the Pyramid at Saqqarah, we ventured to the open-air museum in Memphis. While the “museum” itself is fairly small, it does have quite a few nice-looking statues--particularly this one.

The size of this statue is staggering, a wonderful shot !

Oh wow! What an immense statue. The man really helps to convey the sense of scale here.

@Laurie: yeah....i won't lie to you, i felt a bit intimidated by the watchful guard. each time i pointed my lens in his direction, he kind of stared me down,; i decided on a wider view of the scene, which ended up including him (posed quite well, i think)--without drawing his ire.

@Hiro: マジで、エロっぽいのイメージなの？ (笑) 確かにーー撮ったの時、友達に冗談した。「スカートの中感じかな」て、友達は笑っていなかった。ーモアを解する心はけっこう違ったかもね。。。 しかし、私発散。。。コメントありがとうね！
