Changing Lanes

I'm off to Salalah tomorrow for a short vacation with my family. I'll be gone till the 8th of August which means a total of almost 10 days of photographic opportunities. I'm all loaded up and Inshallah I'll be able to take a lot of pictures. I'm aiming for about 2000 pictures minimum that also in RAW format which means 20GB of data in total(not counting the videos from my sisters camera and our camcorder). I hope the laptop can take the load so as a precaution I'll be taking aminimum of 10DVDs with me to create back ups. This trip does mean 10 days of isolation from my beloved computer and the addictive internet but I think I'll survive... ;)

Anyway here's two pictures I took on two different days but here they are together cause they made me think of something....(read the captions)
