Description
View of a bush in the region of Al Dhafra sands taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey to Baynunah. In the central foreground a large bush grows in a stretch of wind-rippled sand dotted with a few tufts of vegetation. In the distance beyond more bushes grow in a depression between dunes. In the distance low rolling dunes continue into the far horizon below a cloudless sky. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey from Al Ain to Liwa oasis, Al Dhafra and Baynunah sands in November and December 1948.
