I took this last month on a holiday to Egypt. We'd climbed Mt. Sinai during the night to witness this amazing sunrise just after five in the morning. Here a Bedouine guide sleeps against a wall right beside a sheer thousand foot drop.

I can't imagine sleeping in such a dangerous place! amazing shot of the man himself! ...I am thinking maybe if you crop the photo just above where the sky starts to fade and a little from the left that you will have an outstanding photograph!

Cool image. I like the composition. The sky is a bit blown out but it's still a powerful image.

Like Marzena I have just had this in the VB and given it a 10. This is such a fantastic shot. Not the place I would sleep but he looks so comfy doesnt he. Amazing view in the background. I love this, its going in my fave and on my desktop.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
