About This is a capture for the normal Egyptian pigeon-tower.

Pigeon breeding is an ancestral custom in many Arabic countries.

In the Egyptian countryside, the farmers breed pigeons not for pleasure, or for mail transportation but for the food, the feathers, and also their "guano" which is used for improving the soil for plantations.

Almost every farmhouse has its pigeon tower; the architecture of these towers is very clever; it gives to the bird's fresh air and perfect protection. It is made of Nile mud, which is important because the pigeons have an intense dislike for modern concrete towers.

Camera settings: 1/250 sec - f/6.3 - ISO 200 - FL 85mm.

I have seen these pigeon towers in other photos but not so impressive as in a sunset, beautifully taken with such wonderful color tones. Alison

Beautiful sunset colours, and well done silhouettes, Khaled, of something that is a normal sight for you but very interesting for those of us not familiar with your country. Well done, and an interesting "about", too!
Dave.
