Egypt

Took this shot from our boat as we approached Aswan; the boat in the shot is typical of the local boats, but we were on a dahabiya.

In the background is the Aga Khan's mausoleum.

Olympus OM40, Zuiko 35-50 zoom with HP5 film.

This is just a wonderful shot.
I'm a sucker for sailboat shots, but that sail is perfect for this peaceful scene. So cool!
