At the Temple of Hathor in Dendera, Egypt you can still see the lion-headed gargoyles that funneled the captured rain off the roof, and into scared wells. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
I love taking photos of domes. This one is in the US Capitol Building's rotunda, and is called the Apotheosis of Washington, showing George Washington as if he was a god. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
Last year I spent Halloween in Egypt. On the night of the 31st the cruise ship had a Galabeya Party. It is a standard dress that is slowing with sleeves. Some of us ended up buying one from the market to wear at the party. I considered it my "Halloween Costume" last year.

Halloween is my favorite time of the year! I wanted to share with you all some of my past favorite Pumpkin Carvings! This is the front of a pumpkin, showing a witch in front of her cauldron! And this is the back! When lit it would cast flickering shadows and light in the form of the moon, stars, and wisps off of the witch's potion! I hadn't thought about carving the backs of pumpkins to give more of an atmosphere! I actually hate the feeling of gutting a pumpkin. So I started using fake pumpkins

By my old condo, there was a ditch with many trees. The wind would blow all the leaves from the neighborhood into this ditch, and it would reach 3 feet high in some places. It was one of my favorite places during the fall. Huge yellow leaves up above, crunchy brown ones below. I enjoyed kicking and jumping in the leaves, while my dog loved jumping and eating the leaves. Seriously, she eats them up like potato chips. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
This little church in the mountains is beautiful in any season, but I think fall is the best. I stumbled upon a wedding this day. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
The Verse of Light from the Qur'an is written very pretty, and is a good fit for looking up at the many glass lamps in the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, in Cairo, Egypt. The verse goes like this: God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is a niche wherein is a lamp— the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a glittering star— lit from a blessed olive tree, neither eastern nor western, whose oil almost lights up, though fire should not touch it. Light upon light. God draws parables
As I was racing around the island in a golf cart to try (and succeeded) to win a scavenger hunt I saw this beautiful sunset and squealed to a stop before snapping this pic. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
