A day in the Nile Delta - Menoufya, Egypt

http://www.onefleetingglimpse.com/ A day in Saed Abu Shara, Menoufya, Egypt. I went along with a group of people going to see carpets being made by hand. None of us were prepared for what we saw when we arrived - the carpets being made by young children. Some looked no older than 7. They produce beautifly woven silk carpets with colorful patterns. It was amazing to watch them work. As we moved further into town, groups of children began to follow me when they saw the camera. I was led around the maze of narrow alley ways by a boy who took me to everyone who wanted his picture taken. When I got on the bus to leave, they stood peering into the windows of the bus and even ran behind waving as we pulled away.
