Pyramids of Giza



Outside one of the entrances at Giza you can take a camel ride for about 10 bucks. They are all about capitalism so I had to sneak this photo in between some buses otherwise I would have owed them all a few bucks each!


This photo cracks me up. Here we tourists are standing and looking at an architectural marvel but everybody seems to want to focus instead of the poor Hindu guys on vacation! Finally they asked if they could take their own photos at the pyramids before anymore photos with strangers.


This guard stood on the steps of one of the pyramids - his job? Keep people off the steps. He refused to let someone else take his photo and I caught him about 3 seconds before he started yelling at a French couple to get the hell off his pyramid.


This little girl was adorable. She had a bag of cookies or crackers and someone was trying to make her give them back - if looks could kill!






I loved Giza along with the rest of Egypt. Especially since when I left Germany it was snowy, nasty and cold as hell. (Nov 2005)

Why this...

In a few short months I shall be gainfully UN-employed thanks to our PCS. I thought since I would have so much free time I could start posting the photos of some of our travels. I love photography and it would probably be my 3rd job right behind going back to school again to become a forensic investigator.

Well I hope you enjoy what I have seen through my left eye lens
