View of an abal bush growing amongst rolling dunes in Al Batin sands in the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). Successive dune ridges rise from the near foreground into the far distance. At the far right a large clump of abal (calligonum comosum) grows on the side of a dune. A line of footprints marks the sand in the foreground.
