Natural Sandstone Monument, Wadi Rum, Jordan

One of the highlights of my second, 2 hour desert tour in Wadi Rum was this sandstone bust carved by the elements. This was actually a bit of a ledge, behind me the rich red sand drops away to a valley floor in the distance centered around a vast dry lake bed of white-gray dust. Just off to the side lay the 'Martian Landing Strip', a man-made parallel of rocks. (posted May 28th)
