SIWA:
Night images

The local authorities have decided to light up 3 of the main mountains of Siwa; Shali, Gebel al-Mawta and Aghurmi (with the Oracle of Amon).
And of course it looks nice, especially the two former. The Gebel al-Mawta has the many openings ot the tomb emphasized, while the crazy formations of Shali becomes almost spooky in the artificial light with the black backdrop.
