Monumental

The whole reason, the WHOLE reason, I even brought Bee to Jordan was to get his shot. Hell, this was practically the real reason I even bought him (also he's just so darn cute, aren't you, you big scawwy wobot you ...)

Ahem.

TFP Bumblebee at Petra, standing in front of Aldeir, known as the Monastery in English. It was originally carved by Nabatean architects imitating grecian design and was probably a temple or a tomb, but in the later Byzantine occupation it was appropriated as a monastery. You may recognize it as the once-resting place of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership before an irate yellow robot smashed through the back of it.

I showed this picture on my camera to one of the Bedouin (who was a spitting Johnny Depp look-alike, I kid you not), and he told me he remembered they closed the whole mountain for three days to film that one scene. Sheesh.
