Open lock, a photo from Qena, Inland

Photographer's Note

Yesterday I showed our boat waiting for the lock. Now three pictures from the lock. In the main one, you can see the open front door and we will pass the lock in a moment. In Workshop 1, the view of another boat in front of us. Our boat was similar. See how deep is the lock.
In Workshop 2, the rear part of our boat. It is the upper deck, the same level as the ground.

Now there are few tourists. You saw that the streets in Luxor were almost empty. Also, few boats on Nile cruises. On our boat, there was our group, 22 persons, and a few Egyptians. So practically, the whole boat was for us. No problems with the sunbeds in the upper deck.

See all photos in the large format.

Hi Malgo,

The small boat in front of the lock should leave the area fast. The point of view is showing the details of the lock. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
Three interesting photos showing the exciting process of going through the lock. You made the right choice for main post. It's good as it is, but I could also have considered cropping the not so interesting sides to make it into a vertical shape. That would have put more emphasis on the nice view forwards and the small boat.
Kind regards,
Gert

I presume it was nice for you to have the whole egypt free of tourist for you. in my last trip I found many palaces and buildings closed because pandemic. what a pity.

take care

Hi Malgo.
The perspective of the Nile seen from inside the lock is very interesting, the photos of the WS give us an idea of the task to be carried out so that each ship crosses the lock.
Very nice color, in some tones, very attractive.
Optimum management of luminosity and sharpness.
Very well done. My congratulations.
All the best and have a good week.
Luis.

Hello Malgo,
So, you're telling me, these days are the best to take a cruise on the Nile. This lock is at a more interesting place than the ones we went through past summer.
