About Me

My photo
I am a Canadian currently living in Scotland. I moved to the UK initially to pursue graduate work at the University of Oxford and am now a PhD student based in Scotland. Over the past few years I've lived in England, Scotland and Egypt, and continue visiting Canada frequently. This is really just a diary of photographs highlighting some of the places I've visited since moving to the UK. Photography allows me to savour my surroundings and reflect on my experiences more vividly. If you have any questions please send me an email: sarah.hynek@gmail.com

Getting some height in Cairo














These photos were taken with a basic digital camera and the bottom three just with my phone. Nonetheless, you get a good sense of the immensity of the Arab world's most populated city, Cairo.  I took these from a variety of vistas: the top of Al-Azhar Mosque after creeping my way up a dark minaret, standing on the mountain in Garbage City, looking out from Muhammad Ali Mosque, on the top of Cairo Tower, and on the roof of the Tonsy Hotel which is a favourite expat hangout.
