The Beauty of Nothingness...
"Venting" - letting out some air...

"He who is well prepared..."

"He who gets stuck is embarassed"

You never know what you'll find...

You come across all kinds of interesting stuff in the desert:
Camel skulls, surprisingly beautiful flowers, animal tracks in the sand... and the occasional car-part that some unfortunate soul has lost off his Landcruiser :-)

"99 bottles of beer in the sand"

"The Morning After"

The sun rose at around 4.45am.
The shade you see in the forefront is the shadow of the nearby mountain, enabling us to sleep an extra 1/2 hour before our tents heated-up in the sun.

The silence of the desert can truly be deafening: when there's no wind, no movement, you can hear the blood rushing in your ears.

I woke Johnno up searching for my camera in the tent, but I think this picture was worth it!
