Petra = Streaky Bacon

A collection of photographs of some sights I enjoyed whilst on a recent trip to Petra.

'It's not eyeliner, actually. It's KOHL'

This Bedouin dude had sass, and some great eyeliner/KOHL. When he wasn't waxing lyrical about the importance of freedom and happiness in life he was blurting out the most incongruous phrases presumably learnt from tourists. "Lovely jubely" "Cheap in chips" etc. After he'd inquired about our origins and we'd replied "New Zealand" he yelled out "Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI!".

Definitely one of the chattier and wittier dudes we came across.

Aerial slices II: Rivers

This image pair shows lakes dotting the tundra in northern Siberia to the east of the Taz River (bottom left). The tundra vegetation is colored a faded red, while lakes appear blue or blue-green. White arrows point to lakes that have disappeared or shrunk considerably between 1973 (top) and 2002 (bottom). After studying satellite imagery of about 10,000 large lakes in a 500,000-square-kilometer area in northern Siberia, the scientists documented a decline of 11 percent in the number of lakes, with at least 125 disappearing completely. These images use near-infrared, red, and green wavelength data from the Landsat MSS sensor (1973) and the Landsat ETM+ sensor (2002). - NASA Observatory

Very much inspired by this amazing blog post by pruned (which I only discovered after my sister sent me the link)
