❤️ thank you little brother

The carvings in the rocks of the first 2 pictures is so amazing looking. Even the buildings have such intricate details. Really lovely pictures.I'd love to go there. Maybe you should try using the photography tag as your first tag because it's so popular it could help with visibility. More people need to see your awesome pictures.

Wow thanks Marx! I appreciate the very kind words and your advice!❤️❤️❤️
