Desert wadi

"Wadi" is an Arabic term meaning valley but often denotes a dry riverbed that contains water only during times of heavy rain.

A beautifully composed image of this amazing place. It reminds me of Zion National Park. I never knew the literal meaning of "wadi". V

It's interesting how the trees manage to survive in this dry location and the green foliage contrasts nicely wit the red sandstone.V
