    Is that a sound that one can actually hear? That is amazing.

    With the massive summer heat somewhat abated, the once harsh looking desert offers its softer side. It may be quite warm down there actually, but the shadow and pale blue sky offer a more comfortable visit…

    I can clearly understand that in a silent world, the tongue of a lizard can be heard.

    That is such a lovely, thought provoking picture. I can almost see myself walking barefoot , leaving my foot prints in the hot sand.
