So we were on our way to a camp when SFC K (who drives like a maniac) suddenly turns off the road and starts driving out into the nothingness that is the desert in that part of Kuwait. He'd spotted this sheepherder and his flock and knew I'd want pictures. There was a big water truck, a pickup, three gentlemen, two donkeys, two dogs, and sheep. And the sand was blowing like, well, sand. Quite the interesting adventure. SFC K got out and took the gentlemen cold bottled water (an appreciated gesture) then asked if I could take pictures - and they said I could.

I'm glad he's keeping our favorite "hot spot" photographer taken care of. Very telling shot.

Dang! I can't even tell you how cool I think these photos are. I just love this picture of two different cultures interacting and being friends. I wish as nations we could "get it" !

I cannot even begin to imagine what all that sand does to your eyes (and your camera! lol). As I always say, kudos to you for what you do, and for braving conditions like these!

Awesome. The blowing sand is beautiful (though I wouldn't want to have to deal with it in person). What an adventure. Stay safe!
