These two gentlemen were enjoying the autumn sunshine on a norag, an old wooden bench used for threshing with oxen.

What a nice way to spend some time.
I like this photo. The two guys do look very relaxed, and a little amused. Love the earthy colours.
Your calender is very interesting. Very lovely idea. I am surprised with your ability to convince people to pose for you. I found completly difficult during my trips in Egypt. They always asked for money
I have 3 blogs where i make some compositions. If you are interested
are

I've lived in Egypt for about 25 years, speak Arabic and know many of the people that I photograph by sight. For them, I'm not a tourist; just a slightly nutty old lady who likes to take pictures. They humour me.
