Central Asia/Middle East

Egypt
A couple shots of me with the pyramids, the first with me in the foreground just to add scale.

The second a more ridiculous picture, with me seemingly more interested in quenching my thirst with a can of Coke than gawking at these ancient structures.

---------------------------------------
In front of two of Egypt's most recognized man-made wonders, the Sphynx at Giza and the giant stone carvings at Abu Simbel in the south near the Sudan border.

---------------------------------------
Uzbekistan
The Ark, an ancient fortress in Bukhara, a city that claims to be more than 2,500 years old.

That's me as a tiny dot in the lower left next to this imposing structure that was a Muslim school in eons past.

---------------------------------------
Oman
In front of a school for the study of the Holy Quran in Muscat.

---------------------------------------
Libya
Dwarfed by ancient treasures as well as Qaddafi's larger-than-life ego.

---------------------------------------
United Arab Emirates
A couple shots in the lobby and Al Muntaha Skyview Restaurant in the world's most luxurious hotel, the Burj al Arab.

---------------------------------------
India
At the top of a mosque in Delhi enjoying a fine view of the city.

There was no way I was going to pass up the chance to be photographed with what is perhaps the world's most famous romantic building.

Sri Lanka
Near the entrance of Ruhunu/Yala National Park at the southeastern tip of the island.
