Photo-Finish Friday -- Pushing Off


A Nubian gentleman pushes our boat out of the crowded dock for our trip to Philae Island.

love.
calming.
needed.
perfect launching pad, for me, for a writing exercise of 'what happened next?'

David Cranmer said...

And the adventure begins...

Hilary said...

Nifty shot. Was it a good trip?

messymimi said...

Makes me wonder what stories he could tell.

David Barber said...

I need a holiday!!!!!!!!!

Leah J. Utas said...

Miz, so glad you can use it.

David, it was our first visit to a site.

Hilary, thanks. It was. Just getting out of the dock, and back in was pretty exciting. It was the boat version of bumper cars.

Messymimi, I think he'd have plenty of them.

David, Egypt's a good place for one, especially now that they're (probably) crying for tourists.

Dawn said...

Feel like I am there....the only thing is, I get sea sick on small boats;)
Think you would go back...or have you seen enough?

Leah J. Utas said...

Sorry to hear you get seasick.
Egypt's great, but there are so many other places in the world to see.

That peek of blue sky was welcome! (It's been quite grey and dreary here)

Leah J. Utas said...

Glad I could help.

Chris said...

Boat trips are my favorite kinds of excursions.

Reb said...

It looks warm. I like his scarf. Did you have to walk across his boat to get to the dock?

Leah J. Utas said...

Chris, I love being on the water. It's so relaxing.

Reb, it got warm. I think we stepped--carefully--right off the dock onto the front of the boat for this one.

Dawn said...

That looks very exotic! It's a wet day here and I yearn for far way places.

Leah J. Utas said...

it surely is, Dawn. Hope you get some sun soon.
