> The first one was taken when I was lounging on my hotel balcony one morning
> when this couple arrived in a SUV at the beach below. The chauffeur then
> carried the chairs and tables to the edge of the Mediterranean, and then
> discreetly withdrew. Then the couple sat down, had a cup of tea (I presume)
> and enjoyed each others company for some time. It was also quite windy and
> nippy that morning, and the whole scene was quite surreal as there was not
> another soul on the broad beach!

> The second one was taken in Abu Simbel - a Japanese couple doing what they
> do when they travel - taking photographs. I am guessing they were
> honeymooners by the way they were behaving. I was taken up by that hulking
> 'grim reaper' looking shadow looming to the right:

> But at my back I always hear
> Times winged chariot hurrying near
> And yonder before us lie
> Deserts of vast eternity

> I thought that Andrew Marvell's lines, penned to his coy mistress, 
> described
> that scene very well, as we really were in the middle of a vast empty 
> desert
