Cairo has so much dust in the air that the only time the sky strays from a muddy brown is at sunset, when the sun casts a vibrant orange glow over the whole city. And this is no sepia image. At that time of the day it really is monochromatic.

When i saw it, I said to myself "Hey, quite good work in Photoshop",
but it's real. Amazing capture.

Wow...reminds me of artwork by Paul Klee with all the squares of colour. I absolutely adore the colours in this piece and how they graduate. Beautiful. It never fails to amaze me how there is so much beauty in the most unexpected of places.

I gave it a 10, that's incredible. The gradients in this are absolutely breathtaking. This almost looks like a painting. Great shot :). The tower in the foreground is also a great idea.
