Pyramids of Giza after the Storm



Giza, Egypt - October 8, 2005
The sun and sky were ominous that morning having been washed with a fast-moving dust storm spreading across the desert. The quiet moments after made for some interesting photographs.

  29. I love this picture. My first thought before I read the post was he's made a drawing of the pyramid. I can't believe this was a camera shot. My husband would love this because he wants to go to Egypt someday. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice night, what's left.

  30. Nice shot. Just stumbled across your comment from 2/7 about my childhood sunglasses -- you are too kind. Japanese tourists thought you to be Elton John? -- I would have SO capitalized on that!
