River of life - the Nile

Nile - the longest river of the world. And through it's course, one can see life in different forms. For a land which sees rains barely, it becomes a true giver of life. As you cruise through the river, you get to see not only snippets of life on its bank, but every moment gives you a different hue too! Be it the sunset or the full moon, be it a bustling cruise industry or the serenity of the waters - it offers contrasting reflections through the day. Though tourism has left its polluting scars on the beautiful river, the latter gives quietly to the ecosystem.

While I present below some of the beautiful images that I could capture, the experience itself cannot be expressed. These are memories which I shall treasure in days to come and forever.


The bustling river Nile at Cairo -these boats offer unique dining experience in the city
 
The gentle Nile - serenity speaks

Early morning - fishermen hoping for dimes while waiting for a catch

The river transforms in the moonlight, making it one of the most breathtaking moments

Bittersweet: as sun sets on river, we look forward to another exhilirating day

Picture perfect - nature at its best

Reflections

Adieu
