Douz-Tunisia. Sahara desert: +40 heat, sand, wind and desert ships! It is here that tourists come to meet the sunset and ride a camel. We, too, did it, but only without any use. Independently organizing a trip to the Sahara, we traveled all tourist places by our friendly company on one car.

@vcclothing Asian Sunday entry:
I was exploring the caves in Petra Jordan were people used to live and I came across this one cave that had a window with a awesome view. I was there during winter so it was cold out side but surprisingly inside the caves was alot warmer. Petra is an amazing place to explore! So many cool caves to check out.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:
Burning sunset over the Beagle Gulf, as every night the landscape turns into an incredible scenery of thousand colours. Darwin is a magical place for sunset sighting and every day the end of the day is just mind-blowing... I loved it!

Coming back to frozen Baltic Sea and amazing views which you could see during very cold and very calm periods of winter. Very low shooting angle and very wide angle lens again bringing quite unusual overall perspective for the scenery. Enjoy the scenery!

I took this photo in Kampala, the capital of Uganda during my visit there. Kampala is located on the northern edge of Lake Victoria and my hotel happened to be located right along the lake. Kampala is a big city with lots of people and excitement, so the quiet retreat along the lake was a perfect getaway after exploring the city!

Camels in the Sahara
On the last day of my trip to the Sahara, our guide readied the camels early in the morning. To give the camels a rest, we all agreed on walking back to Merzouga instead of risking another bumpy ride.

Nuri Pyramids, Sudan
Want a pyramid experience without the swarms of tourists? Try Egypt's neighbor to the south, Sudan. Dating back to the seventh century BC, the Nuri Pyramids were part of the ancient city of Napata, the first capital of the kingdom of Kush. It's about six hours north of Khartoum -if you make it all the way here, you'll likely have the place completely to yourself!

Have you ever been lost in a semi-desert?! Every second December I explore this very remote semi-desert farm called Keiskie, about 20km from the closest town Calvinia in the Northern Cape of South Africa. What a privilege to explore a place untouched by humans! ;)

Camel ride Tozeur Chott Jerid
Take a stroll between the expanses of sand and salt and the lush vegetation of the oasis that cover the south of Tunisia.
This region is more authentic & quiet, more hospitable also compared to the hyper tourist north where one has as much the impression of being on the Spanish coasts as in Tunisia & where you meet many more tourists than native ones.

We saw this crocodile during our sunset boattrip close to the Popa falls, Namibia, lying on a rock with his mouth wide open
The reason they keep their mouth open, is to cool it off and avoid overheating. Scary animal.

Landscape of São Tomé, an African Island. In the photo we can see one of the famous peaks in the Island, Pico do Cão Grande (Big Dog's peak). It has a vulcanic origin, and rises more than 300m above ground.

These are the Roman ruins of Dougga in Tunisia. They are some of the best preserved Roman ruins in Africa, largely because they are in a very rural area so people weren't hauling away stones for new constructions like they would if it was near a city. Unfortunately, because it is such a rural area transportation isn't very good and we could only do about an hour of exploring because the last louage (shared minibus) of the day back to Tunis left in the early afternoon.

Tetouan, Morocco
How I get in there ?
So it was one day Trip from Spain to Marocco.
We visited only this one city, and only historic part - only Media quarter. The weather was not cool, for the most of the time it rained, but thanx that I have this dramatic sky on photos.
What can I say more... I definitly have more photos from this city, so I will put more in the future. And Tetouan it's like a heaven for you - if you like architecture/reportage/street photography <3

Africa has many wonderful things, like its people, its landscapes, but what captivated me the most was its animals in Kenya I got with this mother with her little baboon baby, who during all the time I watched them were always together, the mother with that protective instinct did not leave it any moment alone, it is simply beautiful the instinct of these animals.

The Princess Grave on the East African Coast
Empires rise and fall and many boats have reached the eastern shores of Africa. Here, in East Africa, lies the tomb and monument of a Princess that lived here hundreds of years ago. Note the distinct baobab tree in the background and the sand, the sand is because the Indian Ocean is right behind me...

The temples of Abu Simbel are two temples of ancient Egypt carved in the rock near Abu Simbel, in the south of Egypt.
Built by Pharaoh Ramses II to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Qadesh, the temples were threatened with destruction by the construction of a new dam near Aswan. The decision was made to move the site to its current location after being separated into over 1000 blocks. A great giant puzzle very well assembled by more than 900 people.

During our round trip over Egypt the last point of visit was Alexandria. Regretfully was a shortest stay only half day there and visited only few most interesting places. Here is the view to one of embankments on a winter, but usual sunny and still pretty hot day
Enjoy the scenery :)
