  • POTD Sat 8 May 2004: Torch light trails on Mount Sinai 8 May 2004


    Torch light trails of toursts climbing Gebil Musa, Mount Sinai. Egypt

    It was an early start this morning, in the middle of the night we set of to climb up Mount Sinai by tourch light. Part way up I set my camera on tripod for a 30 second exposure to caputre this image of the people climbing up the mouting. The streaks of light are the torches people are holding.

  • POTD Wed, 12 May 2004: The Treasury in Petra, Jordan 12 May 2004


    The Treasury in Petra, Jordan

    We spent today looking round the ancient city of Petra. This is the second time I have visited Petra. It truely is an amazing place.

    I remember the first time I ever saw images of Petra, it was in the film Indiana Jones and the last Crusade. I remember saying “Wow, that’s an amazing set they’ve build” only to be told the place actually existed. At the time I could never have believed that I would actually visit it.
