Egypt - Siwa - 21-11 - a photo on Flickriver

Taken from the central village square, the jagged remains of the 12th C. hilltop fortress silhouetted at sunset, with a lighted diorama of how it once looked in the foreground.

I believe this was also the night that the start of Ramadan was finally announced over the radio. Everyone in town was suddenly in a flurry of last minute shopping for the feasting that would happen every sunset. Daylight hours would, starting with the next sunrise, be reserved for fasting over the next 30 days or so.
