Trees at one side of the walls (made of stone bricks) at the Karnak temple

The trees you will find most often in the desert area of Egypt are palm or date trees. In this photo, you can see a couple of trees on one side of the walls of the Karnak temple. Further, you can see the block of stone, that make up the stone walls of the temple. They no longer seem to be in perfect alignment with each other, with some of them jutting out and others being inside.
