View of a member of Wilfred Thesiger's party standing at the edge of a sabkha in Al Humrah sands during the party's journey to Umm az Zumul. In the foreground a dry abal (Calligonum comosum) grows in wind-rippled sand. In the near distance one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions stands on the slope of a dune, looking out over a vast white sabkha (salt flat) lying beyond. He holds a rifle over his shoulder and casts a long shadow over the dune.
