Toy Story .. The Final Chapter.

This is a story of a little toy, a toy that every single person admired.. a toy that everyone wanted.. but fearing neglection the toy was more than happy to stay in its protective packaging.. Every child wanted it but none could afford it .. till one day the toy decided and chose a lucky child to be with .. and was happy to break free from its packaging and feeling the touch of the child .. feeling the love and attention of a loving child’s heart .. but the child grew up into a young lady .. and did not need her toy anymore .. she had more important things to worry about .. and the toy was left on her shelf .. abandoned .. seeking attention .. the toy always dropped itself off the shelf just to seek his princess’ attention .. till one day falling off the shelf the toy was broken .. and it was never the same again ..

Critique appreciated .. I am no poet .. so dont be too harsh

It’s been ten years as a happy toy..
ten years feeling as a real boy ..

years and years of feeling your love..
and many memories of being in heavens above

till one day you suddenly grew older..
and i was left like a paper in an abandoned folder

a paper with a poem that u used to sing all day
and used to bring all the smiles and happiness ur way ..

today everything has changed to worse ..
its like falling from heaven to hell by some kind of a curse..

all that is left is you leaving me on your shelf
not letting go of me but keeping me for your self ..

not allowing anyone to touch me except for you..
but even that simple touch you no longer do ..

i tried to have u back .. i broke myself on the harsh floor
but you didn’t care .. you dont worry about me nomore ..

After ten years I thought you knew your toy very well ..
you surprisingly forgot that i was born a rebel ..

today i am broken .. you may as well throw me away..
but one luckier princess will find me some day ..

she will mend my broken heart and bring back my smile..
a wait that might be long but will be worthwhile ..

today i break free .. not from my packaging but from you..
today i make my own choice of letting you go ..

I drop myself one last time .. knowing it will hurt so bad..
but knowing that I will get more than what i had ..

my princess, make your own choice .. but I will too ..
and breaking away from you is the least I can do ..

a work in progress

And the toy lived happily ever after …

Mohammed Ali Mosque

A Visit to Mohammed Ali Mosque

Mohammed Ali Mosque - By Samer Kamel

I was lucky to have spent a day around Mohammed Ali Mosque and the Citadel in Cairo, I was able to capture some really amazing photos, a couple of hours spent doing what I love most – Photography!

My Equipment on the day was :

My trustworthy Nikon D90
Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II
Nikkor 18-105mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR
Nikkor 50mm F1.8D AF

I did not have a tripod with me, but if you do visit one day a tripod can be handy indoors.

From Wikipedia:

The Saladin Citadel of Cairo (Arabic: قلعة صلاح الدين‎ Qalaʿat Salāḥ ad-Dīn) is a medieval Islamic fortification in Cairo, Egypt. The location, on Mokattam hill near the center of Cairo, was once famous for its fresh breeze and grand views of the city. It is now a preserved historic site, with mosques and museums.
