<p>[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 273651, member: 1331"]I'm beginning to suspect this is either a rich religious tourists slide show to show off to their friends when they got back or a commercial fictionalised account of a religious tour. The tour was following the travels of “Big J” and family when he was a snot nosed kid and may be related to the Coptic religion which considers the journey to be important. The text which has been clearly screwed up being backwards and non transparent was at some stage printed with a custom letter “M” in “Marriage” which I thought might suggest more commercial origins than private ones. However the cut of the photo is probably too rough to be commercial and the use of the phrase “WE have remained” swings me towards private show off slides. As for the camels I think it's an adult and a juvenile because the brides father was too cheap to pay for extra fuel.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p><br /></p><p>Stephen</p><p>[ATTACH=full]86786[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]86787[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]86788[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
