The river Nile

Kom-Ombo, Egypt

This was taken approximately 24h after the previous PaD entry.
I was forced out of bed to take some shots of the sunrise while we were cruising down the Nile, near Kom-Ombo.
Not having had much sleep the previous two days, with all the prepping for the trip and the constant flying, I was less than enthusiastic about it.
Now I feel like kicking myself when I think I would have missed this and a few other shots, had I had things my way.

Great colors in the sky.
Is that a crocodile peeping out in the river or just a duck? :)

Gorgeous image! Love the silhouettes, particuarly that of the palm tree (?), center, which is set perfectly against the setting sun. The bird adds a great finishing touch. Well done.
