    That's a really cool picture. Just another example of how Khartoum seems to offer exoticism and mystique.

    It looks like a monochrome, minor editing it will be a good black and white. With its good balance of white, sure that it will be a perfect exotic subject. Indeed it looks like a pencil drawing.

    I missed the Skywatch last Friday. From night duty, I went straight to bed.
