A 'nocturne' painting from a holiday photograph of the temple on the island of Philae. It was late evening and the moon shone phaethontically upon the temple walls.

Philae Phaethontic

Lady returning home late one night. She's been to the ball and had a mighty good time. She's tired, and bedraggled and wants to go to bed. She's expecting a hangover in the morning. When she wakes and feels her thumping head she will remember that she had a mighty good time. Her mother is waiting for her on the steps of the pier on the shore on the banks of the Nile and she's not looking too happy. And the moon shone brightly upon the ruins of the temple.
