my slides, I exactly remember a place but not its name.
Where did I come across this small temple? it must have been near Aswan (Egypt) and the head of Hathor is clearly visible on the left. Maybe it was on Bigga island. So, if anyone here knows the answer, please tell me!
This whirling dervish was truly amazing - spinning forever his clothes being coloured wheels. Here, I stopped his movement combining a fill flash with a relatively long exposure. As to dervishes: this originated as a sort of Sufi-prayer in Turkey - but I guess such tourist performances do not really have a religious significance. Still, a remarkable experience! more Egypt pictures. ...

Is it on Kalabsha? I remember there being a smaller temple off on a corner of the islet.

Actually, you are right! When I came back in 2004, I just had to find out and it
turned out that this is the kiosk of Kertassi, next to Kalabsha temple.
I took quite a few new photos of the kiosk and will upload the shortly.
Thanks!
