Collection of Egypt pictures by artist Mark Tisdale. These pictures are inspired by my travels in Egypt some years ago. From ancient temples to desert landscapes, Egypt was an amazing experience. That I came back with amazing pictures of Egypt was just the icing on the proverbial cake. I would have been happy with the experiences I had there alone.
If you’ve been to Egypt, you likely understand what I mean. Egypt is surely an experience walking in the shadows of truly ancient history. From pyramids to temples, it’s all history that was already ancient when what is now classical history was alive! As an armchair history buff, there were days that Egypt was overwhelming.
These pictures are also available as prints in my shop. So if you’d like to see more of my experience, be sure to check out my Egypt prints too. I think you’ll enjoy them as well.
