This was my first view of the Sphinx. It is definitely not the most recognizable view seen on postcards and in print, but it gives a good perspective of the immensity of what has become the symbol of Egypt and the rock from which it was carved.

In the lower left of the photograph you can see people standing on the causeway, just after passing through the entrance. It was in that little corner where I sat, with my legs dangling over the edge, to be able to take "clean" photos of the Sphinx from the causeway.
