Early in 1984, Golding and his wife Ann went to Egypt, travelling up the Nile by boat. Their excursions were sometimes to famous ruins, but also to strange villages, and scenes of rural farming unchanged for centuries.

Golding's view of his experiences is unique and challenging - his own photographs supplement his marvellously vivid descriptions.
