Pillars and open gate at the Karnak temple in Luxor, providing a view of a restricted section

A few of some of the pillars at the Karnak temple in Luxor. The whole of the temple complex is not open for tourists, with many sections having been cordoned off. This is a photo of a view of one of the sections of the temple complex which was not open to tourists, although a view of the section was visible through the open gate.
