Photo for Today - Hor Awibra, Cairo


My grand plan to use photos from the Petrie's website has been foiled today because the website has been down since last night.

Instead, I've taken the opportunity to highlight another great online resource - Jon Bodsworth's Egypt Archives website, a terrific source of copyright photos that Jon has taken on his travels and made available to anyone who wants to use them - just be sure to credit him and the Egypt Archives website. My thanks to Jon for such a terrific resource. The next few days will feature his photographs from the Cairo Museum.
