Night scene at Alexandria Citadel with open dome and starry sky
by Gladys Silva
The stone ramparts of the Citadel of Qaitbay stand dark against a deep night sky, illuminated only by the faint ambient glow of the Mediterranean harbor below. An abandoned observatory dome sits open to the heavens, its metal ribs framing a clear view of the Orion nebula visible through a telescope eyepiece set up on the stone floor. The cold air is still, and the historic fortifications provide a sturdy platform for this solitary astronomical observation. Shadows stretch long across the ancient masonry, showing the texture of the weathered stone. A quiet moment of scientific pursuit within a historic Egyptian landmark, blending modern curiosity with centuries of maritime defense.
