An ancient city cast in stone

I recently returned from a trip to the Middle East, including a visit to Petra, Jordan, the ancient Nabataean city hewn and chiseled out of the solid rock cliffs. Although wind, rain, and mother nature have taken their toll over the centuries, the city is still an amazing sight.  Here are a few images from this awe-inspiring place.
