The good news was after a few attempts, I figured out how to work the self-timer. The bad news, I panicked and didn't know how to pose. Thus you get to see me awkwardly hug an ancient stone circle. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.

I was lucky to have a gorgeous morning in Alexandria before storm clouds came in. While seeing the Citadel of Qaitbay I spotted this loan fisherman, who was so still and clam despite the waves breaking on the stones in front of him.

I took many photos in Egypt. Each tomb and temple fascinated me. Especially the hieroglyphs that adorn the walls. Here are some of my favorites from Philae Temple near Aswan, Egypt. A cartouche. A depiction of Isis, who the temple is dedicated to. A pharaoh giving offerings to Osiris. Horus surrounded by lotus flowers. Isis giving the sign of life to the pharaoh. Many of the faces were defaced by early christians, it was pleasing to see these three still with such good detail. A lion and flowers on one of the smaller side temples.
