Légende

(5-13 Oct 1984) --- The deeply etched patterns of intermittent streams in the Hadhramaut Plateau of south Yemen. These stream beds, which now rarely carry water, are deeply entrenched, owing to the geologically recent uplift of the plateau. nonetheless, a very distinct watercourse appears along the top and bottom edges of the photograph. In the photograph's upper portion, available water will flow into the vast emptiness of the Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter). In the lower portion, water will flow to the Gulf of Aden.
