Saudi Arabia - one man's vision

摘要

A desert has a dramatic landscape, a hypnotic monotony of form and colour, awe-inspiring in its vast-ness and dangerous to those ignorant of its ways. Stepping out into its hot, dry air seers the skin on your face and evaporates the moisture from your throat. The glare of the sun crevasses the crow's feet around your eyes and etches a yellow glow into your retina. A visitor from a temperate clime would last little more than a day without water and shelter or knowing how to find them.
