Sorry not to have commented sooner CC I have been away and missed this post
Anyway they are all great pictures Glad that you posted the Naos and the Solar Barque picture, I was about to post one myself.
Can you remember when the Solar barque used to sit in its own little side chapel and the Naos Shrine was clearly visible with a small alter block in front of it?
The Solar Barque
The Naos and alter block
All together in one place

yes I remember horus I also remember being there with a guide who couldn't see into the sanctuary and was telling us all about the festival and how the barque was moved there just for the celebrations, he then decided to show us where it was around the back but when we got there we found it gone. He was extremely puzzled until I informed him that I had seen it minutes earlier in the sanctuary. He proceded to argue with me that it wasn't there until I dragged him back round and said "what is that then?" my friend was in hysterics and the guide was very red faced
when she was good she was very very good but when she was bad she was better

this celebrates the festival of the beautiful meeting where Horus and Hathor get together each year. The boats are towed south against the current of the river but their sails are unfurled following the meeting as the sail north with the current.

The July/August competition generated a bit more interest and we had some good contributions, but one person stood out with a good group of pictures and some really interesting background information about Edfu temple, so this months winner is: CrazyCat so very well done :
Please keep your entries comming in for the next one and remember it's not all about the pictures, we want your interesting facts about the places as well.
