    It feels sad sometimes for the absence of the King of the Jungle … who is to be blamed?

    The wash leaves the appearance of mountains on each side, with the dark of shadow offset bu the solar lighting. So it is not so foreboding…unless the big cats do indeed show up on our pathway anyhow…

    And, lucky for you that there are no pride of lions parading down that wash! Beautiful and dramatic shot.

    So love the fanciful idea of lions once roaming this desert landscape! And the last line of the haiku is a winner! Beautiful play of shadow in the sands!
