Living in Cairo redefines the concept of dust. I've been here for 2.5 years and I'm still amazed by it. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to start using it as a filter. Should invest in canned air when I go back to the States for the summer (they just don't sell it anywhere I know of). I've got a week coming up and I need a destination for me and my cameras. I was thinking of returning to Petra and doing a more complete study of the rock formations, but I'd like to do more scenic and architectural studies. I was thinking Prague, but if there are some other inputs as to a place close to Cairo (preferably not on the Euro, the dollar is weak right now), and I've been to most of them in North Africa and the Middle east (although Lybia has just opened up)...anything dark and mysterious, geologically curious, good drink is a plus, etc...

Lion of NakaruI like the lighting. Objects coming out of or sinking into the darkness interest me. Iíd love to see its eyes in this light. Morning? Do you travel a lot? Iím very interested in travel photography.I'd have loved to see her eyes as well......this was indeed an early morning game drive......the light in Kenya was just extraordinary......there was a crispness and clarity about it that just delighted the eye........and yes, I do travel a bit......BTW, thinking back on the Africa trip, one of the most important pieces of equipment on the trip for me was my photo vest (besides a blower and camel hair brush for all the dust......can you believe they're actually thinking about paving all the dirt roads in the game preserves to make it easier on the tourists?......am I ever glad I got to see it like it is now).......it was so useful to have everything at hand in the confines of the safari cars.......thanks for the comments,JimBaja
