Sunset over the Nile

Posted by Gitsr (Brown Town, Germany) on 21 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

Relaxing on a felucca for three days as we floated down the Nile gave me the opportunity to snap a lot of interesting landscapes. The hazy sky over much of the areas I travelled in meant that most sunset photos were rather ordinary but the softness in the sunset really worked for this picture.
