Might as Well Jump (Giza Remix)

With a backdrop consisting of the Pyramid of Menkaure, the "3rd pyramid" at Giza just outside of Cairo, I added another jump to the collection.  You are no longer allowed to climb the pyramids, so this was as close as I could get to rising above.  Next time I'll just try to bribe one of the police officiers...

You can't climb up inside the pyramids anymore? When we were there we climbed Dashur and Giza pyramids and fulfilled a dream I've had since I was 5! Maybe a couple pounds to the guards was needed?

You can head inside, but you can't climb the outside which is what I wanted to do. I like to climb on top of things :)

Wow I really love this picture. Its so awesome.

I am a huge fan of jumping in front of iconic building, statue etc... while taking a picture. They just make it so much more interesting & funny!!!

@Jaime I should make a jump tag! I have a couple others posted on the website here, though I usually leave them for places like facebook. I figured that most people here would care more about the place than me jumping in front of it hah :)

You can climb them... just do it and they will just yell at you but won't run after you, haha:)

It was their big guns that were scaring the crap out of me!! Heard I could possibly bribe them...
