After the violent protests have started in Egypt on the 28th of Jan, I came back home that day, after spending many hours on the streets trying to document whats happening, filled with mixed emotions of happiness and worries, then I couldn't help it but to spend more hours watching the news..... at the end, I just felt that I needed to escape, I closed my eyes and dreamed of an enormous landscape, gentle breeze, soft sound of sea waves.... how I wished to be there right now, how I wished to feel freedom, me, my people and my country... we all need a great space... to fly high up in the sky, dive deep into the sea.... A space that is enough for every body to be free... to be his own self..... I opened one of my photo folders from last summer vacation in Sinai, looked around and found this one... then I thought this is the place... I wished I could go back to this spot, sit on the shore and watch that ship on the horizon.... and feel the space....
This is place is called Ras Abu Galum, one of the great diving places in the world, in the middle of a beautiful wilderness.

I was randomly looking around, seeing what I could see. Looking for something to strike me, to get my attention, somewhere to escape to. Then I came across this picture. I didn't even notice the caption. I just sat back and tried to be in that place. It was just so calm. the way the sky and earth just come together. Perfect.. Then I read the caption and felt a little guilty. My stress, my bad day, whatever it was that I wanted to escape from, was nothing in respect to what was said. I do not leave comments often. I'm sure this is the longest one i ever left. But I really like the photo, it is great. Wonderful work....
