Nile Bend, Egypt: Image of the Day
Summary
Like a giant green and brown serpent slithering toward the Mediterranean Sea, the Nile River and its corridor of agriculture contrast sharply with the arid beige surroundings of Egypt. Midway between the lush Nile Delta and Lake Nasser, the Nile bends toward the east. Although it follows the general contours of the river, the farmed floodplain takes a smoother path.
