Jade has grown old, though not that old, she thinks just having a child had greyed her hair. But she loves her little Alex. Her band of puppies and full wolf Alacard have protected them both form harm...harm that would have killed them both. How long can the wolf and dogs hold out though?

The story of the following photos goes like this. We were all relaxing on the deck of our ship, tanning in the harsh Egyptian sun, when we hear some yelling, and see a whole collection of these boats coming towards us while we were waiting to pass through the loch. These men had absolutely no reservations about hooking on to our still moving boat, and they were obviously seasoned professionals! It was quite thrilling to witness this, being that I had never experienced it before. They all collected around our ship once they realized we were willing to purchase items, and began throwing things up on deck for us to look at. We could then haggle with them over the price, and they would throw another item up for us to put money in (they were in plastic bags), to throw back down. It was quite a fascinating experience! The following portraits are of these amazing men who make their living on the magical waters of the Nile.
A colossal statue of Queen Nefertari at the Temple of Hathor (aka the Small Temple) at Abu Simbel, located some 860 km (534 mi.) south of Cairo on the shore of Lake Nasser in Aswan Governorate, Egypt. The temple, and the adjacent Great Temple of Ramses II (Ramses the Great, ruled 1279-1213 BC), was constructed during Ramses II's reign on the true left bank of the Nile. Over time the temples were nearly buried in sand. In March, 1813, the Swiss geographer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt discovered the upper portion of the Great Temple extending above the sand and told the Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni of his find. In 1817 Belzoni succedded in entering the temple. By the turn of the century both temples had been fully excavated. The site faced permanent inundation due to construction of the Aswan High Dam between 1960 and 1970 some 280 km (174 mi.) downstream and UNESCO undertook to move the monuments to higher ground. Between 1964 and 1968 they were dismantled, with each piece numbered, and then reassembled some 65 m (213 ft.) higher. An artificial mountain with the contours of the original location was built and the temples were oriented exactly as they had been, thus replicating the original site. The temples at Abu Simble are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1979 as Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae.

Delhi teaches you the possibilities of the simble aloo (potato). On display by the side of Dariba Kalan is a very basic aloo tikki (marinated fry) available all over Delhi. The difference is in the chutney served alongside.

Not only are the two temples at Abu Simbel among the most magnificent monuments in the world but their removal and reconstruction was an historic event in itself. When the temples (280 km from Aswan) were threatened by submersion in Lake Nasser, due to the construction of the High Dam, the Egyptian Government secured the support of UNESCO and launched a world wide appeal. During the salvage operation which began in 1964 and continued until 1968, the two temples were dismantled and raised over 60 meters up the sandstone cliff where they had been built more than 3,000 years before. Here they were reassembled, in the exact same relationship to each other and the sun, and covered with an artificial mountain. Most of the joins in the stone have now been filled by antiquity experts, but inside the temples it is still possible to see where the blocks were cut. You can also go inside the man made dome and see an exhibition of photographs showing the different stages of the massive removal project.
Abu Simbel was first reported by J. L. Burckhardt in 1813, when he came over the mountain and only saw the facade of the great temple as he was preparing to leave that area via the Nile. The two temples, that of Ramesses II primarily dedicated to Re-Harakhte, and that of his wife, Nefertari dedicated to Hathor, became a must see for Victorians visiting Egypt, even though it required a trip up the Nile, and often they were covered deeply in sand, as they were when Burckhardt found them.
