Floating on The Nile
Beautiful the flora!
Poverty-stricken children
These scenes, oxymora

Author Notes
On vacation in Egypt. While on a boat for days down the Nile, the scenery was so magnificent. Sometimes, all I would see is the beauty of the landscape on both banks. And then, we'd pass by a village. There was such poverty, the women and children were on the banks doing laundry and washing dishes. The children were so ragged, yet loved waving at us as we went by. Here I was on a lovely boat in a lovely scene and there were these very poor children, working very hard. Was difficult to see.
