River-like

I don’t know how there is so much water in the ponds here. It’s the only place in the DQ that has any to speak of. But it’s a refreshing change to the desert environment that we live in.

It´s always amazing to see these spots of green and water in the middle of that desertic area.V

Surprising to see water anywhere in the Mideast. Sahraa seems to be having a lovely time.

Wonderful, all that missing is the camels and a bar! v

It is indeed a nice change in the otherwise vert dry landscape. Refreshing place for a picnic

you could have got away with calling it a river; I wonder whether frogs and dragonflies etc find their way to it

Lovely composition. I suppose that is a true oasis, Helen? V
