Sand point

One of the few dunes in the desert of Wadi Rum, Jordan. Many people running down the slope, some even with a skiboard! I tried to take this pic in a sort of Fontana-like style. Thank you for following us in our trip to Jordan! It's nice to know you have friends sharing the experience

I didn't realise there were few dunes in that desert, very interesting. Love this skyline shot.

@777margo Thank you Margo. Have you been there?

[Caterina]

@golftragic Yes Marnie, it's mainly flat sand and great rocky formations. Very interesting for people living in cities. Probably in Australia you have even more interesting deserts.

@paul10 @dide @graemestevens thank you for your comments!

Thank you for sharing your trip ! This is a great composition with your POV

This is wonderful! I had to look up Fontana and found the summary sentence: " He is best known for his abstract colour landscapes". I think you have captured that perfectly! :)

[Marnie]

@caterina Probably, but I haven't seen them yet. The only real desert I've ever see up close and personal was in Dubai.

Fun! A man asked me to come to the school there and help with english. "So I did and ended up staying for a few weeks to help. I really enjoyed that area, and the history is so amazing. Its good to know that one can still travel safely in the area. Lucky you!!!

@stefneyhart You have done so many interesting things! Did you teach to the Bedouins? And how happened that the mayor of Amman invited you to stay with them? So curious...

[Stef Neyhart]

@caterina I'm pretty sure it was in Amman, though now it is so much bigger. Just happen stance... as I was driving down a little road this man came running after my car... at the time it looked like he was wearing pj's. In Jordan it was almost a crime not to offer refuge to a traveler, so he insisted I come stay. He had two teen age daughters so I think that he wanted them to experience conversation with a foreigner. I'm Canadian so I was welcomed. I mostly would meet up with the Bedouins when playing my flute in the desert. I'd hear a shepherds flute coming from some where and so I'd start walking, and soon we'd get close to each other. We'd play a bit together, then usually I was invited to the tent encampment. I could also find them by listening for the tinkling sound of grinding coffee in the morning. The Bedouins are so different than the other people. They have a way of their own, no boundaries, no borders... they always fascinated me. Now they hardly travel at all I believe.
