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.

July 11 Tina Spring
July 18 Patti Autumn/Fall

Hi Amy. I really enjoyed your video of the Egyptian whirling from your Nile cruise. The dancing and music were so exotic, and their use of colored lighting enhanced the mystique. I’d love to read more about your cruise and experience with the local foods.

Wow! What an awesome surprise! I’d only have to go around twice before falling flat on my face. Such talent. Nicely captured, Amy!
