Accidental, slightly atemporal, photograph of the desert / foothills outside Las Vegas. I didn’t mean to shoot B&W or to add so much grain; reminded me off a pre-Hoover Dam aerial reconnaissance picture.

How did I buy you a set of glove stretchers instead of grape scissors? Perhaps we were talking about things *even more esoteric* than grape scissors?

Been confusing people on IG by posting #latergrams and realised that this place was probably a far better place to post them. These are from a trip down the Thames to the Red and Shivering Sands forts…

Tickets were relatively straightforward - all the Egyptian national monuments accept credit / debit cards and seem to require non-Egyptians to use them rather than take Egyptian Pounds in cash. The pyramids were as impressive as you would imagine. Monumental in size. (6/x)

Now home to embassies (including the huge, white, rather brutal US embassy), Garden City was meticulously planned. It looks a little down at heel today, and many buildings seemed to be vacant, but is home to the exceptionally cute Falak Gallery and Bookstore (4/x)

Spotted a bird out on the Nile, around the First Cafaract - looked like a Masked Shrike (Lanius nubicus) but it was in the middle of a load of brush, and hard to photograph. When I came to review the photos on a (slightly) larger screen, I found something unexpected. It had been taken by a snake…

Had a fantastic morning birding around Aswan. Senegal thick-knee (Burhinus senegalensis) and White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) were standouts, along with black stork, Egyptian vulture and spoonbill #ornithology #birds
