Luxor Temple, May 2026
A few pictures from a truly amazing place.












A few pictures from a truly amazing place.
We went to a charity shop warehouse yesterday and found this print by the above artist.
It's numbered 7/10, handsigned in pencil by the artist.Still in the protective sleeve too.
Bought for Β£4, plus an extra pound for a new frame.
Turns out her prints sell for upto Β£120 π, not bad return should I ever sell it.
Framed and in our hallway now.
A set of photos from the Temple of Edfu, May 2026
Near Aswan (if I remember correctly)
A few photos from one of my personal sites in Egypt.
The first photo describes the site and the crocodile museum alongside the temple.
Lots of photos from the stunning Karnak Temple in Luxor. Only a mile from Luxor Temple.
She keeps moving to find shade from the heat.
Looks like she'll be moving again soon
From Luxor Temple.
Originally a church door, then a mosque door, now closed and sealed.... but there is another easier access around the other side of the building.
We have just returned from Amsterdam. All I can say is what a great city it is.
Super friendly people, amazing architecture, great food options, but very expensive in places.
Be wary of people on bikes though! They have right of way.
The weird painting was a picture from our hotel landing, still can't work out who it is π.
The coffee shops sell amazingly strong cakes, think we saw the same cheese shop at least 3 times after visiting Smokies on Rembrandt Plaza and going for a walk around. The day and night canal cruises are great fun too.
The museums are world class, as is the zoo.
Would recommend visiting and we will certainly be back, April/May for tulip season.
Won't stay on Ronkin again, very central location, but the hotel wasn't great, but cheap enough π.
Glad I booked today off work though.
Just got here, checked into our hotel, bit of a dive π its only 2 nights, started walking and found the shop.
Waiting a while before any purchases get made
Very old indeed, not seen it open having lived in this village for 45 years.
She is often happy, but never shows it π, always scowling
Getting a few grey hairs now π, 5 later this year.
Bear, post bath time, drying off in the π
A random Egyptian street dog, gave him a little bit of food and he was so damn happy π
​
Tried following me for ages, but he wasn't allowed on the coach
An original door from a good few centuries ago
Remembering our beloved Billy, 1 year since he passed π’.
​
Missed every single day, there will never be any other cat that comes anywhere close to him.
​
He'd walk to the local shops alongside our dogs and me, waiting patiently outside, always up for an adventure, the funniest guy ever!
​
He was poisoned by an evil bastard, who lived close by. The person responsible is getting his come upance later this year for other evil, much worse things.
​
RIP Billy π
No longer used, due to asbestos and a new station entrance around the corner
