This is a scene in my living room, where the afternoon sun lit up a corner with bits of memories I brought back from a long-time ago trip to Egypt.
The bright shining candle speaks of the passage of time as well, and the glow of it made me get the camera.
Note the bone-shaped colossal rock. It weighs as much as two sacks of flour, I sneaked it home in my suitcase. Its a treasure to me. I picked it off the ground on a day I spent deep in the desert with nothing but sand, a few small bushes hung full of dead locust around me and huge skies.
I hope you like it.

I'm glad you went to all the trouble to bring these home. They illuminate you and your soul.
Thank you.
