Sunrise Over the Nile

This is our entry in Dutch goes the Photo!’s Tuesday Photo Challenge – Sunrise.

On March 1, 2013, we were on board the cruise ship M/S Domina Prestige Emilio, traveling on the Nile River.  Just before 5:30 that morning, we became aware of a bright light peeking through the cabin window and parted the curtains to see the sun rising over the riverbank.

We spent this cruise looking at ancient wonders that are thousands of years old, and here was a sight that was infinitely older and even more beautiful.
