El Giza, Egypt You can’t see the pyramids with the naked eye from space but this is the view through an 800 mm lens.’ The three pyramids in the centre of this photo (from largest to smallest, and from closest to the city to the desert) are: The Great Pyramid at Giza (the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
