Figure this is as good a way as any of saying Hi to the boards - a recent trip to Egypt

A rare clear day in Cairo - where you could actually see for miles

Welcome to the forum!

These are lovely shots. The second one does look a little crooked, but it depends on which vertical you look at. They all seem to go at different angles! I think its the lighter colored drainpipe (?) right in the middle that makes it appear crooked. Try straightening that up and see how it looks.

I had used the lower horizontal step before - not realizing that the pipe thru the image off. I was wondering what that little voice at the back of my spine was telling me...

thanks,
