Journey of the Sun
We asked you:
Where was the above picture taken? And it
took a while to get ten correct answers. Surely the angle has a lot to
do with it. But those of you who followed your instincts and said, with
confidence, that the photo was taken at the Pyramids, are as
right as can be. The pyramid in
question is Khafre's -- you can tell by the solid casing at the
top.
Wael Ezzedin, the photographer, says
the guy on the camel in the photo was chasing him off the Giza Plateau
as he took the photo. It was sunrise on New Year's Day, 1999.
Congratulations to the following ten
cairolive.com readers with sharp eyes for anything Egyptian. They will
soon receive an exclusive "I Love Torshi"
cairolive.com bumper sticker.

Suspension of disbelief
The question was:
What is the name of this bridge, where is this part of it, and what
year was it built?
 The
first person to answer all three questions about the bridge correctly
was Mohamed El-Sayed Mahmoud.
The questions were:
What is the name of the bridge in the photo above?
Where is this particular stretch of the bridge?
When was it built?
Most people got the
first question right -- after all, the 6 October Bridge is one of
Cairo's most prominent landmarks.
It was the other two
queries which were a little more complicated. Some thought the part of
the bridge in the picture overlooked the Nile, but those in the know
said the only part of 6 October built in the suspension bridge style was
over Ghamra, and that that section of the bridge was built in 1999.
Congratulations to
Mohamed El-Sayed Mahmoud, who gets a Star Trek watch courtesy of Showtime
for being the first person to answer all three questions correctly.
Our eleven
runners-up, who all answered the three questions after Mohamed, all get
exclusive cairolive.com I Love Torshi bumper stickers.
Their names appear
