Posted on October 15, 2014October 18, 2014Unforgettable Luxor at Night Walls of Luxor still intact after ~3,500 years. The Pharaoh guards the entrance. Massive looming columns flank each side. Sunset reflected off the ancient sandstones. The grand column colonnade. Dusk over the main courtyard. Ramses’ statues protecting the courtyard. A phalanx of sphinxes guard the grand concourse between Luxor and Karnak.
Posted on October 15, 2014October 18, 2014A Day in the Life of Luxor Muslim man resting in the afternoon heat. The young and the old passing under the shadow of ancient monuments. Down the corridors of Luxor. Egyptian men fighting the crowd to purchase cigarettes. …and more donkeys, donkeys everywhere. A primary mode of transport. The butcher exposing meat to heat, dusk, pollution, flies, etc. The alley fish monger tempting cats. Fruitt vendor open all day on the busy street. Away from the center of town, local women about their day. Local resident sorting her grains. Taking wrong turns down Luxor’s streets.
