    Oh, was für eine herrliche Wohngegend - in der Nähe des Nils, die Grundstücke so schön eingewachsen und dann dieser Blick! Ich versteh nichts vom Segeln - mir fällt nur auf, dass dieser Mast doch recht, recht hoch ist... :-)
    Eine wirklich wunderbare Aufnahme!

    LG! a.

    Looks like they are under motor power at the time of this shot. I would like to see them with the sails unfurled. Good shot of the houses and shore, looks like a nice park along the far side of the river.
    Regards,
    Archie
