Apparently the animal control people in Cairo are on an extended vacation, becuase the number of stray dogs on the streets is just unbelievable.
Anyway, jogging every morning, I often run into a rather comical pack of stray dogs. I took my camera along and decided to live the role of the “wildlife photographer”

This is the coolest thing since…the last coolest thing. Apart from all the neat things you can do with this if you have a GPS, its simply so darn cool to gawk at all this satellite imagery.
