Western Desert Self Portrait Series
/2 Comments/in Africa, Egypt, Middle East, Travelogue /by allanAt the beginning of my journey through much of South America, I rarely posted photographs of myself unless with new friends who I know would look to the blog to see the picture. But in the desert it’s vast, desolate and often lonely yet exciting. With my little point and shoot and that silly gorilla […]
Egypt Western Desert & The Oases
/0 Comments/in Africa, Egypt, Middle East, Travelogue /by allanI packed up early the next morning hoping I could make it to Bahariyya Oasis before night fall and leaving some time where I could wander the infamous white desert — a wacky collection of mushroom shaped formations carved by the wind from naturally occurring blocks of magnesium.

Running From The Convoy: Aswan to Luxor Egypt
/3 Comments/in Africa, Egypt, Middle East, Travelogue /by allanToday I experienced a little bit of sadness. As such, I’ve got a confession to make. It’s been kind of a secret. Though those who’ve ridden with me in Africa including Ronnie “B”, Grant and Julie and even Robin from Cape Town were privy to the secret. But today I’ve got to let it out […]
Back To Sudan — almost. The Massive Temple of Abu Simbel.
/1 Comment/in Africa, Egypt, Middle East, Travelogue /by allanEgypt is the land of Pharaohs. Home to some of the oldest and most well preserved archaeological sites in the world. And it’s no wonder. Wit the massive Sahara desert to the west and the Red Sea to the east, Mediterranean to the north, it was very in accessible in ancient times. So while the […]
