Tranquility, Cairo style

Cairo hums constantly with the energy of its inhabitants and runs at a fever pitch through both broad boulevards and narrow lane-ways. In our time there we had the opportunity to see the best that Cairo had to offer and, at times, to catch a glimpse into the private world of some of the people who called it home.  

Cairo, after all, is more than pyramids, revolution and crowded streets.

Off in the woods

These fine automobiles were found in a patch of undeveloped land, on the side of a ridge, in the west end of Calgary. 

How they got there, I'll never know...but it must have been quite the drive.

A little tranquility

One glorious week every summer my family and I have the rare privilege of visiting Camp Merryweather. Nestled along the shoreline of Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes, Maine this old boys camp, a wonderful conglomeration of rustic cabins, kayaks and "dipping" spots, makes for an ideal family meeting place and get-away.

The shot below was taken one breezy evening a few years back after all of the day's sporting activities had come to an end.
