Today, we planned for a short morning walk. We went about four kilometers and it gave a really good glimpse into life on the West Bank of Luxor. This is the rural side not far from the mountains that make up the Valley of Kings. Life along the river allows for irrigation and agriculture. The folks along the way were very friendly and welcoming. I am still a little shy of pointing my lens and taking photos of regular folks. It's something I shall try to work on.
I am absolutely pleased with my camera as it allows me to capture much more of life than a mobile phone ever did. I have selected just eleven of the shots to include here. They all reside on Flickr; so if clicked, a larger image may be viewed or downloaded.
