These following are fairly ropey old lo-res scans, done for the old days of 14,400 bps modems - I'll get around to doing better ones one day, but they're still neat photos, I reckon!

Great Pyramid, Giza.  Notes: (a) you actually can climb the pyramid if you bribe the guard, and (b) I usually shave a bit more often than this!

I didn't climb the pyramid, though, for several reasons: (a) if everyone did, it would damage it; (b) it looked pretty strenuous; (c) in the pre-dawn, it looked pretty dangerous too!; and (d) the policeman I would have had to bribe would have tipped off his mate round the other side - the one with the serious automatic weapon - to demand yet more baksheesh on the way down!

The Camel Police. Don't mess with them!

Me and Horus, Temple of Edfu. Spot the resemblance.

Great Pyramid again. Quite a daunting climb!
