Wordless Wednesday and Wordless Wednesday on About

National Geographic was kind enough to give me access to a handful of photos illustrating my article on the new findings in the western Sahara Desert; however, this is not one of them, so be sure to read Ancient Life in the Saharan Desert to get a look at this fascinating new archaeological site. Happy WW, everyone!

“Green Sahara” seems like an oxymoron. It’s so strange to think that area was so different in the past.

I love desert scenes, and this image is just fabulous. (Your article is excellent, by the way.)
