Hi Kiril!
Very interesting and strange (peeking) shot, good and sharp photo. (It looks like a scale model.)
Thanks for sharing!
Regards, Csilla

Fun photo.

I also was in Luxor in July. I was told that people sleep on their roof top. Here is the proof. Interesting "daily life" photo.

Very unusual and somewhat obtrusive insight into the life of these Egyptians: I feel almost uncomfortable when looking at them sleeping in their beds, unaware of the presence of the camera. Many of your shots have a strong "decisive moment" feel to them, either the capture of a split-second facial expression or a unique and coincidental presence in the right spot at the right time, like here. It's not what you'd call a "stunning shot", but a very interesting and informative ethnographic image and as such an essential contribution to this site.

Perhaps a little bit voyeuristic (but photography is voyeuristic)
