I’ve been fiddling around with this for a while but I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.

Honestly I’ve been meaning to do a piece with just these two for quite a while but I haven’t been able to commit to a composition until now.

aka the Tomb of the Vine.

TUMBA DE SENNEFER-XVIII DINASTÍA. TT 96 by Soloegipto Via Flickr: Lo mas excepcional de esta tumba son sus techos: Representaciones de una parra y de las telas que los antiguos egipcios colgaban para protegerse del sol. El techo, al no ser plano, da la impresión de que las "telas" estan moviendose siguiendo los mandatos de un viento imaginario. Un belleza.En esta foto, Ramón ha sabido captar maravillosamente este efecto optico. (“The most exceptional thing about this tomb are its ceilings: representations of a grapevine, and the fabrics that the ancient Egyptians hung to protect themselves from the sun. The roof, not being flat, gives the impression that the 'fabrics' are moving, following the commands of an imaginary wind. A beauty. In this photo, Ramón has managed to capture this optical effect beautifully.”)
