This week I thought I will participate in both categories for Friday of @photocontests run by @juliank.

Sharing a few pics that I like which I took during my recent trip to Egypt.

Street Photography:

The is the street adjascent to the Cavern Church (Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, also known as Abu Serga, in Coptic Cairo), one of the oldest Coptic churches in Egypt, dating back to the 4th century.

This is the church where Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus are said to have rested during their journey through Egypt.

It was pretty crowded that day with tourists but again, luck was on my side and I found this lane almost empty with the lone lady.
The color editing is intentional, kinda captures the mood of the place according to me. :)

Portrait Photography:

I had already posted a few portraits from my trip in one of my previous blogs.

Here are two more:

Does this count as a portrait? When the faces are not seen? 🤔
I am really not sure. You photohraphy experts can let me know :)

This one is taken at Citadel of Qaitbay located on the Mediterranean sea coast, in Alexandria, Egypt.

The models (😜) are my wife and my sis-in-law.

Here is another one outside the same citadel.
Believe me, my son is not crying, this is a mid-sneeze pic! 🤓

Until Next time....

PS: Posting this from latest version of eSteem Surfer @esteemapp. I highly recommend trying this out. The interface and editing tools are superb and the writing experience is so much better. Plus you can schedule your posts which I think is highly underrated and people must start using it if you blog regularly.
Also there is an added new feature of "Similar Posts" while browsing. I am still getting used to this but I think it might be a feature which can help get a lot of posts noticed which you might otherwise not look at. Might really come in handy for curators.
