Taken for my group of favorites...you certainly have a great number of excellent pictures but the sunset group are extraordinary views of cities in Egypt.
Saludos

Immediately to my favourites! Mabrouk, ya Khaled!

Oh how I wish I had a digital camera when I was in Egypt...But in those days they didn't exist yet... ;)

This is a wonderful picture, Khaled Mursi!

I love the silhouettes you have created, the colour of the sky and all the wonderful detail you have captured here. The profile of the pyramid and the flock of birds is the absolute icing on the cake. The photo was already good without that, but with those details it becomes excellent.

The only slight blemish remaining are those satellite dishes spoiling the view. But I guess it shows the "real" world of today.
