It's the first Petra-like structure seen as you walk toward the Siq.

Petra, Jordan

Badly eroded though.

Note the sculpture of a human figure between and behind the 4 obelisks.
I didn't notice it so did not use the zoom lens on it.

The Siq resulted from a catastrophic split in the mountain that is now our main pathway.

other sizes: small medium original auto
