Illuminated Manuscripts - St Catherine's

Fellow travellers and I joined together to visit St Catherine's Monastery.

Our magic carpets took us effortlessly to this place of wonder.

The library there was vast and whisper quiet. I looked

particularly at the illustrations in the aged volumes,

marvelling at their colour, bright, rich and clear...

Then the magic carpet arrived, magnificent in splendour,

to take me off to the Sheik's Masked Ball. Over sights

and scenes I flew, trying to imagine the

splendour ahead, and thinking

of colours...
