Leaving Egypt today, standard tourist things were amazing and our guide was amazing as well. They really are a great place to visit. We traveled with Archeological Paths and were also on the Jaz Senator Nile Boat on a 10-day "Essence of Egypt" tour. Here are a few photos of the 6k I did yesterday 🥵
Picture of the Giza pyramids on a partially cloudy day with a camel in the foreground Close up of a camel with its mouth open.. the teeth look horrible lolol Different perspective of the Giza pyramids with a majority of the 9 in view, vast expanse of sandy hills in front of them with a few camels in a line traveling through the desert. Golden sunset in Cairo with a lot of city in the foreground and the Pyramids in the background a considerable distance away. A few Egyptian hawks/eagle are soaring over the city (above the pyramids) and the sun is barely peeking from behind a cloud.

Egyptian Goose - Nile River, Aswan, Egypt
I love the flow of the water around the body because it was swimming upstream so quickly!

Photo of an Egyptian goose swimming - it has a light neck and body but dark neck and wings and buttt. The eyes have red feathers around them which look pretty cool. The water builds up in front of the duck but then swells down around the sides and then back up to make the wake.

Terrible looking EgyptAir Business Class Lounge - I hope this is temporary? Seems pretty permanent.
Cairo Airport F Gates #CAI #PaxEx #EgyptAir
Like half of a hallway taken up by 4' glass walls labeled pretty permanently "EgyptAir Business Class Lounge" across from F Gate duty free shop, has a counter with coffee and snacks you can see through the glass. It just looks janky with all the hallway noise and lack of actual space. The chairs inside are close and dense.

King Tut Mask at the new Egyptian Grand Museum - Nov 2025
Only phone photos allowed, and super crowded. They did a good job moving people through. Shot (and cleaned up reflection with Lightroom) on iphone 15 pro #EgyptianGrandMuseum #KingTut #cairo
King tut mask on display at a new museum in Cairo Egypt Crowd around mask in new Egyptian museum- display has a lot of vertical light lines and a circular artsy feature of light above the mask.

I was on a 2y/o a321NEO and it was missing trim pieces in the entire plane! BA's maintenance waiting on replacements probably, but still weird they were all gone.
Trim missing on the upper cabin for every row on an a321neo makes it look soooooo shoddy

What a great welcome photo to Egypt, a Hooded Crow with the pyramid in the background. Didn't know but the largest pyramid's actual name is the Pyramid of Khufu. Sorry the preview doesn't show the pyramid!

Close-up of a beautiful Atlantic Puffin at the beautiful Bjargtangar Lighthouse located on the cliffs of Látrabjarg in NW Iceland. It marks the westernmost point of Iceland & westernmost building of Europe. The cliffs are popular for Puffins and the weather was great.
Canon R5 RF100-500 July '23
Close up of atlantic puffin looking left. It's outer beak is dark orange, then has a band of yellow, and then a black triangle basically near the head. The head is mostly white with a wide racing band of black over the top. The eyes are dark, and has an odd triangle kind of shape around it as if the lower eyelid was large and the upper is small. There are tiny bright orange "cheeks" where the beak opens that look odd but are small and actually easy to ignore if you're not looking for them.

Another PNW pika, this time way closer to Mt. Hood, Kinnickinnick Lake / Campground near Parkdale. These Pikas were very suspicious and watched is the whole time. Thankfully I bought/brought an extender with me!

Went up Angels Rest trail today outside of Portland to look for Pikas, and we saw one! You can contribute to Pika nature studies too: www.oregonzoo.org/wildlife/cas...
Judgey pika sitting on some mossy rocks, side profile; round little ears super cute

Whoever selected Palmer Glacier on Mt Hood above Timberline Lodge is hilarious 🎿
Satellite picture of Mt Hood (Oregon) with a large green section for sale on the side of the mountain above the treeline, I think that's palmer glacier, and definitely inhabitable.

I'm not really sure what's going on in Maywood Park (a tiny city within Portland OR), but it doesn't seem normal? Or is it?!?! #pdx

These long exposure live photos mess with my brain when focusing on the middle while switching between them. It's like they're in fast forward super speed! #trains

@pdxwinterhawks.bsky.social had an amazing 7th game win against the Everett Silvertips, just an amazing 3rd period. Back to back goals to get the lead and then an empty net goal for the insurance. Everett had a penalty with too many men on the ice with like 1:30 remaining that nailed the coffin.
Tipoff with Portland 3, v Everett 2 showing the power play with 1:27 remaining in the game Winterhawks teammates flooding the ice from the bench after the clock hit 0

Great effort by the @pdxwinterhawks.bsky.social but they lost so it'll go to game 7 in Everett. No kids playing hockey during the break, but there were some vids of the players saying dad jokes so that was entertaining.
