Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #103: Surprise

This week, Ann-Christine leads the “Surprise” theme.

In moments of surprise we catch at least a glimpse of the joy to which gratefulness opens the door.

Ann-Christine’s theme gives me a chance to go through my photo archives, and I recall many surprises moments we have had during travels. For this theme, I’d like to share the whirling dancing that we saw on the Nile cruise with you. Hope you’ll enjoy.

We didn’t know what to expect when our tour guide announce the dancing event before dinner. The last performance of the night was truly a surprise. I recorded this amazing dancing with my iPhone.

In Egypt, the practice of whirling has been adapted as tanoura. The word tanoura or tannoura refers to the colorful skirt worn by the whirler, with a color representing each Sufi order. For more click here.

Ann-Christine found great surprises in nature. Beautiful captures, as always. ! You don’t want to miss it, take a look.

As always we encourage you to use our “Lens-Artists” tag for inclusion in our WP Reader section. Using tags can significantly increase the number of readers who see and comment on your posts. For instructions on adding tags click on this link https://wordpress.com/support/posts/tags/”
