p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Egypt----Peasant Boy and the View


Across the Nile from Luxor- I struggled pushing a rented bicycle up a steep and narrow trail- heading toward the Valley of the Kings.
I got to the top and there was nobody there but this boy- taking in the view of a small portion of the Nile River farming.
But at least the steep and narrow trail was downhill to the Pharoahs' burial chambers.

He's looking over a peaceful scene. So difficult to superimpose the tumultuous politics over this landscape.

It a well done capture. Sometimes the scene overrides the person or vice-versa. Here it looks like a nice balance.

Thanks NB, Bob and Jim.
Often when I travel abroad, it's as much to see and watch the people as it is to do anything else.
The lure of ancient Egypt is what caused me to finally go there- I had no interest in the people because of those serious political confrontations they've had for so long.
What a surprise!
The Egyptians were delightful! And friendly.
And noisy! In Cairo every car honked its horn every 5-10 seconds. Whether another car was nearby or not.
I was walking through a small and almost empty city park and a boy on a bicycle went out of his way to ride by me- and he rang his handle-bar bell at me (it was the only horn he had).
But he also smiled at me .
Probably practicing to get his learner's driving permit .
