The original galleries created after my trip to Egypt were split into so many chunks that an index page was necessary to navigate around.  This shouldn't be the case any more, but so the page doesn't throw up broken links from search engines I'll add a few of the best pics here and you can link away to the relevant new galleries if you prefer.

• Part 1: Leaving Luxor; Edfu; Aswan
• Part 2: Temple of Isis, Philae ; Aswan High Dam; Kom Ombo; Esna; Luxor
• Part 3: Valley of the Kings; Temple of Hatshepsut; Dendara
• Part 4: Temple of Hathor, Dendara; coming home

Where I used to work in Chichester.  These were the new offices, not the original ones I worked in when I first moved down there.

Leaving Luxor; The Temple of Horus at Edfu; Kitchner's Island (now Aswan Botanical Gardens), with the fine collection of palm trees; and Elephantine Island (resting place of the Ark of the Covenant?).

Visiting the British Museum in 2001, not long after the glass-roofed Great Court opened.

On Saturday 20th(?) January 2001 the weather was very clear (and so quite cold), but after doing the weekly shop decided I couldn't miss this opportunity and decided to walk to Fishbourne from Chichester. Perhaps going in my flying jacket and trainers was a little inadvisable after all the rain we'd had in previous months - although there hadn't been much rain in recent days, the fields were still completely saturated with water and early optimistic sod-hopping (jumping from tuft of grass to tuft of grass to try and stay out of the water) soon gave way to trudging along with wet and muddy feet. I think it was well worth it in the end though.

Although I bought the camera at the computer show in October ostensibly to capture images of that show, I was thinking of getting a camera for some time.

After seeing some lovely sunrises around the Arundel area on the train to London each morning, I knew that I had very little time before the clocks changed back to GMT and I wouldn't be able to capture these images for some time - if indeed I ever got the chance again, with the rains causing morning mists I might not get the same views when everything had a chance to dry out. As it was it took me until just a few days before the clocks went back before the conditions were right to take my first shots. Bear in mind all of these are taken through the window of a moving train.
