Photo-Finish Friday - Evening in Egypt

This is the Temple of Kom Ombo  and it is dedicated to two gods.

It's best to see it at night as it is lit up, and because it's not quite as hot after dark.
It's along the Nile and was very, very busy with tourists. We had to walk through the lobbies of three other cruise liners to get to the shore.
The night exposure above is about the best of the lot of the walk to the temple.

It looks deliciously warm from a January dawn.
Which two gods? Wikipedia confused me by mentioning several.

Horus the Elder and the crocodile-headed Sobek, Mary Anne.
I should have noted this in the post. Sorry.
