Only 2 lenses on 2 cameras = eliminating the dustproblem. /JMB

Love your pictures - thank you for sharing with the world. How many lenses did you carry around? I visted Libya for two weeks with Stanford Univ. small group in late 2005 - last group of Americans in before visas for us cut off! (due to little spat with Qadaffi Jr. and our State Dept.) Libya is very safe - of course we were "escorted" by a security guard full time. I have more pictures online if anyone wishes to contact me - Sabratha, Leptis Magna, Tripoli, Nalut, Ghadames, Grand Erg Orientale, Cyrene, Benghazi, Qasr Libya, Villa Silen.

Nice pictures. Did you not visit Sabratha? I left Libya when I was a child. I would like to come back for a visit. Is it safe? Thank you.
