Egypt's gift to the French- Obelisk


When we were in Egypt, we learned that 4 Obelisks were given by the Egyptians to nations who assisted in certain excavations. France, the US, Italy and Spain were the 4 countries who benefited from Egypt's generosity. Here is the gift to the French. The Obelisk in Place de la Concorde.



I very much like the shot of the Obelisk, the fountain and the big wheel. Each represent engineering genius of the times!
