Description
View of a camel belonging to Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party in Al Humrah sands during their journey to Umm az Zumul. In the central foreground a saddled camel stands on a dune slope next to a dry bare bush, its head rope dragging in the sand. In the distance rolling dunes, dotted by a few clumps of scattered small vegetation, fill the background along the horizon below a hazy cloudless sky.
