Sand storm in Cairo














































I woke up one day, looked out the window and was blinded by the sun.

I figured today would be a perfect day to see the Pyramids. I washed up,got dressed and took the elevator down to the street. As soon as I walked out the door the sunshine was gone and there was a chill in the air. It only took me one block to figure out I wasnt going to the Pyramids. The wind was picking up and it was getting darker and darker. So I figured I would take a walk into downtown. I took a few shots here and there but was reluctant to take my camera out after a while for fear of lens damage. I went to a burger joint there and ate. They had to have one girl hold the doors shut to the place because the wind would blast them wide open sending sand and dirt blowing through the entire place.
Theres a few before and after shots here. By the time I got home I looked like a sugar cookie.
