Daily Photo - Giza

The last set of photographs from Rick Menges, with my thanks. I have enjoyed his selection very much. This time there are three photographs of the Giza plateau and two rather more recent ones of Islamic Cairo. I put them together on the same post because I enjoyed the contrast - Cairo is a place of many faces and features.
