Sugar Cane Fields with the Valley of the Kings in the Background

After seeing disturbing images from Egypt for the last few weeks, I think our nerves need
a band-aid – and with the following photos I want to show another side of Egypt – peaceful and beautiful – which no regime – whoever they might be can change.  These places have been there for  thousands of years – and they will be there long after all this turmoil is over.
