Photo Of The Day: The Treasury At Petra



"Indiana Jones would be proud," wrote Instagram user shuotography in the caption for today's Photo of the Day. Yes, we think he would. Taken at the Treasury in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, this photo was enhanced with Instagram's "Lo-Fi" filter, which adds shadows and makes colors richer. While no one knows for certain, the Treasury, known in Arabic as al-Khazneh, is believed to have been a temple or royal tomb. Definitely Indiana-esque.
