This sunset image that i took yesterday evening reminds me of the summer solstice of June in Egypt when the sun sets precisely between the two giant Pyramids of Giza. The phenomenon is mentioned in the hieroglyph called 'akhet' in Egypt.

With travelling curbs all around the world due the current pandemic, what better way there is then to enjoy what we have with us without the need of going anywhere else. This sunset image was just so precise that the sun sets in the middle of 2 identical high rise flats abt 30 storeys high on the right and left of it. These buildings are also facing the southern most state of Malaysia, that is Johor Bahru. And i find this setting of the sun very symbolic and i could just enjoy it from the comfort of the place i live.
