Stunning photographs of Egypt - CORRECTION

Thanks to Ben for letting me know where the photographs that I linked to yesterday actually come from originally. The pictures are part of the series "La Terre vue du Ciel" - Earth from above by Yann Arthus-Bertrandt. To go directly to the Egypt pages click here.
