We chose to go to Karnak Temple for the winter solstice sunrise today rather than yesterday, and we are very glad we waited. Yesterday there were 1,500 people. Today there were perhaps 15! And the sunrise was surely equally spectacular.

ReplyDeleteHi Marie,
I'm sitting in my living room with all the windows showing winter black skies, and with my boy cat trying to catch a skitteriing paper clip on the table.
I'm too stupid to figure out how to make the comment function on your bog work, so I'll write you privately to say how spectacular those photos are...no sunrise, glorious or not here yet at 6 am!
Happy Holidays,
Jane
