Photo for Today - Kiosk of Qertassi
Kiosk of Qertassi
New Kalabsha
(Lake Nasser, just south of the Aswan High Dam at Aswan)
The kiosk, the remainder of what was a much larger temple,
was originally erected next to sandstone quarries 40km to the south

There's a good photograph of it in its original position,
taken by Francis Firth in 1857, on the Megalithic Portal website.
