20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sailors and the Sphinx

A candid photo of members of the French Navy’s bagpipe band "Bagad Lann Bihoue" visiting the Sphinx in Giza, Egypt. This was their only outing that year due to covid, and the normally crowded tourist destination was completely void of tourists, making this very unusual scene possible. October 2020
