Another series in my People from around the world…Exotic People from Egypt! Why is that some men from Egypt have this mysterious and perhaps a bit of danger look in their eyes? I find it quite fascinating!
After cropping this photo…the quality isn’t so great…but I had to include it because of how interesting this man is and his transportation! Some of my photos of people in Egypt are a little bit blurry, because I was usually with a group of people (fellow adventurers on my 2009 G Adventures trip), walking at a fast pace, and I didn’t want to bring attention to myself, so I was trying to hurry!
I’m not sure what this shopkeeper at Kahn el-Kahlili Bazaar was thinking?
As you can see…guys wanting to sell something. To me that was a draw back of visiting Egypt…all of the touts everywhere! I realize they need to make money, but it was overbearing much of the time.
Beef anyone?
This is one of my favorite photos of Egypt. I love this man’s look, the horse, and the colors!
Street Action…
So much for me trying to be inconspicuous! Love the look on these young women’s faces…an air of confidence!
A peaceful photo!
Hope your day is great! ~Sherry~

Haha! Congrats on your run! My foot is in a shoe boot until mid-Feb. I’m a jogger and hiker, but off-limits until then. No recent injury.

Thanks! Sorry about your foot. I pray it heals beautifully! I ran considerably faster for five miles on the treadmill last evening and I feel good this morning, so I’m encouraged! I’ve been focusing on form, listening to any twinges of discomfort and trying for Chi Running technique. I think it’s working! 🙂

Great pictures, Sherry. Even the blurry-in-a-hurry photos have a story to tell. The markets are so full of wonderful wares. I’d be wanting to bring everything home, but of course that isn’t practical. I know what you mean about every shopkeeper wanting to make a sale. It does start to wear on you after a while. It’s just part of the tourism package.

Thanks Anneli – Egypt was by far the worst for that…but there were so many wonderful things about it too. Just like anything, I accept it and take the good with the bad!
LikeLike
That’s my point. Sometimes even the bad (photos) are good. In many cases it’s the story that is more important than the quality of the photo. Keep clicking.
