This was August 2006. We got to bed at 02:30 after the flight and had to get up 2 hours later for our first tour which was Karnak Temple.
The first pic was taken at about 6:10 a.m and we were SHATTERED. The golden light of dawn is just going. This is the sacred lake and to say it's one of the first pics I took it's one of my favourites. Feel free to rip it to shreds. Apart from re-sizing for display these images are as they came off the SD card, and yes I know the sky is bleached-out.

Some more pics from Egypt - please can I have comments on content and if you've any suggestions about composition, brightness, contrast etc and how to change them I'd be really grateful.
Another from Karnak:
The 2.5km avenue of Sphinxes
Rameses II at Luxor Temple
Taken in very low light this one. Of all these pics this is the only one that was slightly unfocussed.
Approaching Philae Temple by boat. Another with a very white sky.
Another of my very favourites
One of the numerous sunsets we saw - this was as our boat approached Abu Simbel, and this one HAS been cropped
