In the far distance a large building sits on the rise

Mongolian ham and tinned herring

Close-up portrait of a young Samburu man

Behind them gear lies in the sand around the camp

with mountains rising above it at either side

while in the far distance buildings line the opposite side of the creek

The wall on the right encloses a date palm grove

In the middle distance Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions trek in a line with their camels along the slope of a large dune

A cluster of boys stands behind them on the right

Sideways with Daffodil by Sue Johnson 2011

To the right a third member of the party stands beside a couched camel

In the distance beyond the sand is bare and high above the ridge the sky is empty of clouds
