Could not use a flash once I was inside the Temple.


















That is it until I go to Edfu Temple,
I live here in Luxor and life is not all about seeing Temples as you can see on my other blogs such as http://www.nilelife.blogspot.com/
one person asked why I do not show my photos on a google album. simple answer is they can not be fully enlarged. and I use my blog to transfer whatever to my website. www.myegypt.co.uk

click on this one of Cleopatra and son. and for those of you going to visit the temple this is the rear end of the temple. you need at least an hour in the compound not 20 minutes, the tour opperators allow.
