Some photos taken

on one of my jaunts up the Nile Corniche, around my neighbourhood, in some palaces (just the usual) and peeking around some mosques. When it gets hot and sticky, and I am living off ice cream in order to cope while I swear and curse at the heat, I pause to remind myself to be in the moment, to look around and to breathe it all in (and I don’t mean just the dust!).
