Info The Philae temple complex is an island-based temple complex in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt. It was built by Taharqa or Psamtik II in the 7th or 6th century BC and was abandoned in the 6th century AD, comprising so the Third Intermediate Period or Late Period to the Byzantine Empire. The temple complex was located originally on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt. The temple complex was dismantled and moved to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. Note: again an actually very crowded monument in Egypt without any tourists. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 22:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

- Support Interesting and well composed, especially when viewed in full size so you can see the buildings on the right hand side. I could wish for a bluer sky but you can't have everything, this is good enough Cmao20 (talk) 12:38, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support Nicely emphasizes the insular character of that site. (Yes, a blue sky would be nice, but AFAICR this kind of sky is really typical for Egypt.) --Aristeas (talk) 19:48, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Neutral I realize this was shot at f/11, so we can't really do much about the unsharp trees at the left. But can we at least get rid of the CA on the leftmost palm tree? Support Daniel Case (talk) 22:25, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- No problem, will fix that today Poco a poco (talk) 08:13, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
