| Cityscape of Cairo |
The photo shows only a bit of the many mosques that can be seen in the skyline. It really is an amazing sight.
Cairo is quite polluted to begin with and in the winter the farmers burn the sugar cane fields after the harvest, thus adding to the ambience.

One of the most recognizable cities of the world. Right up there with London and New York.
So true, David.
Always love seeing pictures of these places...places I may never get to except through your blog!
Thanks, Bossy Betty. One does as one can.
How lovely, how crowded, how smoggy! I'm glad you went on your trip so I can see some wonderful photos ;)
Anything for you, Reb.
Nice .. such a smokey, moody skyline
Thanks, Hilary.
Amazing view.
Definitely a strong image.
Sadly...I have never seen this skyline...real or in photo form. SO I am glad you have it here...it's beautiful. Great photo work Leah...it must have felt quite wonderful standing there taking it all in.
A gorgeous picture, regardless of the haze.
Travis and Messymimi, thanks.
Dawn, I'm glad you like it. There's a great deal to take in there. Thanks.
Bag Lady, thanks. In some ways the haze adds to it.
That pollution is actually quite photogenic. Gives a lovely moody feel to it. Great as long as you don't have to live there!
Dawn, it certainly adds to the atmosphere.
