Caution! Deep Water!

The story behind the image

We had booked a two week trip to El Gouna in Egypt. One evening, shortly before sunset, we went to the hotel lagoon and enjoyed the view of the mirror-like surface of the water. A deep red sign warned of the deep water in English and Arabic (حذر! مياه عميقة).

I really like the warm colors that contrast well with the deep blue of the lagoon. And, of course, the bright red sign in English and Arabic. Very nice.
