Photographer's Note
Comienzo una serie sobre Egipto de fotos escaneadas, realizadas entre el 1999 y el 2001, con una cámara Canon Ixus L1 APS.
Esta foto es una panorámica de la Torre de El Cairo con el Nilo en primer plano, hecha desde el hotel Nile Hilton.
La Torre de El Cairo es un edificio moderno de 187 metros de altura, desde donde se pueden obtener las vistas más impresionantes de la ciudad.
Quienes han estado allí aseguran que el mejor momento del día para visitarla es durante la puesta del sol. El panorama es idílico: el astro se esconde en una progresión de brillantes colores rojizos hasta desaparecer, y las luces de la ciudad se encienden, tanto en los edificios antiguos y modernos, como en los barcos que circulan por el Nilo.
Espero que os guste.

Beginning a series on Egypt scanned photos, carried out between 1999 and 2001, with a Canon Ixus L1 APS.
This picture is a panoramic of the Cairo Tower with the Nile in the foreground, made from Nile Hilton hotel.
The Cairo Tower is a modern building of 187 meters, where you can get the most breathtaking views of the city.
Those who have been there say the best time of day to visit is during the sunset. The scene is idyllic: the sun is hidden in a progression of bright red color to disappear, and the city lights are lit, both ancient and modern buildings, such as on boats traveling on the Nile.
I hope that you like.

ciao carlos,
bello il taglio stretto e orizzontale che va dall'acqua alla città con i suoi palazzi e la sua torre.
Buona la definizione malgrado la foschia,
un saluto

Hola Carlos!
A very interesting and beautiful panorama, showing Cairo in a pretty different way (at least for me)!

Hola Carlos, very nice panoramic view of Cairo and Nile river, which is not familiar to me, since I was there only a couple of days and exploring only the city center. Now, I would like very much to go to the top of that interesting tower since I love views from above. Again, this is an excellent recover from an image of 1999.
un abrazo,
ricardo
