Ramses II

Luxor (westbank) Egypt, 2005: On the bike back from the valley of the kings, stopped in to check out Ramses II temple… Awesome, & less touristed… the cop minding this quarter was from Alexandria, and hadn’t seen his wife & children for months… He eventually agreed to a one off photo… Canon EOS […]

San Vito

San Vito lo Capo, Sicily, 2004: Keeping with the unintentional theme of “transport”… some bikes lined up in the North Western town of San Vito lo Capo. Spot the bright pink Fiat in the background. This part of Sicily is mafia central and incredibly scenic… Canon EOS 1N/28-135is
