This photo shows a dim, stone hallway with tall columns carved into the walls. The columns have hieroglyphs and strange symbols etched into them. At the far end, sunlight pours in, revealing more stone ruins and two people sitting on the ground. The image was taken inside an ancient Egyptian temple, where the walls and columns once held up a grand roof. The light creates a sharp contrast between the dark interior and bright outside. Next, look up Henri Béchard (French) to see more of his work.
