It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Temple of Dendur
This photo was taken in the Sackler wing of the Met. This wing contains the Temple of Dendur, which was brought all the way from Egypt, where it was located on the banks of the Nile river. There was a pier in front of the temple so boats could dock there. When they built the surroundings for the temple, they included the pier and this water to give the feeling of the river. So I photographed the windows of the building reflected in the pool, and of course, waited for someone to walk through to add more interest.
