february 2005 national geographic

i highly recommend getting a copy of this magazine, there are some absolutely stunning images of the empty quarter (http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0502/feature1/index.html) and a great article on the bedu who inhabit this region. there's a two-page photo spread of camels walking thru the desert, taking from high above, at sunset time, so that their shadows are beautifully elongated. the pic looks like an illusion :bow :bow you can see a very small version of the pic on this page (http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0502/index.html)

oh, there's also a story on the great gray owl in this issue, too :D

enjoy.

But I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

That shot reminds of one of my favorite coffee table books (that I don't own):

Earth From Above (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0810934957/qid=1106628682/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-5130048-2768102?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).

You can see Yann Arthus-Bertrand's photography here. (http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/index_new.htm)

I *need* to get a subscription for myself. I love National Geographic. I actually bought every issue from 1983-2003 from some guy off of Craigslist. :D

I also have two great books from National Geographic. I'll try to find the links if people want.
