Petra, Jordan

View of ‘The Treasury’ at Petra.  Framed watercolour painting 52 x 44cms. In reality a temple and tomb built by the Naboteans.  Approached via a narrow gorge making it all the more dramatic. The Temple is dramatically sited at the end of a very long and dark passageway.  Suddenly it opens out into a 'piazza' and spectacularly rises up in front of the viewer, carved out of the rock face.
