Cairo Picture

I found this picture on google, and chose it for this post because it looks almost like a detailed
painting or sketch. The skyline of the city fades like a painting, and some of the buildings in the middle of the photograph look like they are sketched witha a pencil or pen. Also, the photograph changes colors greatly from bottom to top, and adds to the idea that this could possibly not be a photograph, but rather something that a persons imagination had sway over. The city in this picture is Cairo, in Egypt, and you can see the pyramids on the horizon. Over all, i feel that this picture has a very dramatic effect, and the lighting and different colors of this picture make it look like something out of an artists book, not a photographers album. It would be interesting to look into how these effects can be achieved.
