We are headed for El Shalateen, with various stops along the way, something you always expect with birdwatchers. There are beautiful sceneries along the way and special birds too. But the day’s highlight is when we get to this sign written, “El Shalateen, 25 Kilometers Ahead.” Well, the sign stirs a humorous debate between us.

And the sign is in Arabic of course 😉

Let’s stop here.
What for?
To take a photo.
Of what? There is nothing to photograph!
The sign!!
Who wants a photo of a sign? There are more signs on the way.
No, this is the last sign before El Shalateen.

Well, I thought, why waste the moment? And the sign?! Watter is a photographer, and being one myself, I know we see things that non-photographers don’t see and at times it’s very hard to convince them to take a photo, where they don’t see any, even a road sign. So I got out of the car and decided to make the last sign at least interesting for us all.

A quick pose won’t do any harm, will it?

And some spice 😉

Russell got interested

Watter opted to pose with his camera lens lid!

Peter opted to enjoy the show from inside the car 🙂

Believe me, after we were done, we were all grateful that we had stopped on this last sign before we got into the City of El Shalateen, the last City in Egypt, before you get to the border of Sudan and Egypt.
