Dr Kent Weeks Theban Mapping Project pioneered Balloon flights over Luxor a decade back. Stunning visuals for a photographer almost impossible instantanous challenges, burst mode bliss for the digitals. We ascended (sic)shockingly early from Hatshepsuts fore court at Dier el Bahari and drifted down the scarp to Dier el Medina as the sun burst over the Nile. Walked it with Dr Michael the day before, four hours in the winter heat, half hour in the balloon. Landed in a cane field. Walk blazing fires to do it, if you ever get the chance. It will mark the rest of your life.
