Scenic Sunday: Egypt

Perhaps not the pretiest scene, but one that speaks a thousand words about Cairo. It was strange as one minute there was an enormous rush of cars coming along this narrow path and the next nothing! Not a car in side! I truelly wish I could have put the smell of Cairo in a bottle so you could smell. It's best discribed as a warm mix herbs <3>

What a commotion! The balcony on the left looks like a real hand made job and could fall down any minute! You have really captured the essence of the scene.

For a small city girl, this scene is a little over the top. I don't know if I could deal with this type of traffic! Great photo though!

There is so much going on in such a small street scene. I can just imagine all of the interesting smells that makes it the unique place to be.

I wish I could smell that as well. Amazingly active area. Every town street is so unique.
