LOAD Day 27

Todays'challenge: find an older photo and reflect on its meaning.

This is what I made:


This LO is about the trip I took to Egypt in January. The revolution broke out just days after we returned home. The photo is taken from the Citadel, overlooking the city. It shows the overall 'brown-ness' of the city, the dirt, the lack of atmosphere, the poverty of its inhabitants.
While we were there, we discussed how we couldn't believe how the Egyptians seemed to accept their living circumstances. Turns out, they didn't. Good for them.
