More Wadi Al-Hitan

Due to Blogger's built-in limitations on picture-size, I couldn't put up all the Wadi Al-Hitan pics I wanted to. As such...BEHOLD! MORE PICTURES OF A RAD PLACE!




The picture above is a little panorama form atop one of the huge mountain-y outcrops in the area; you can really get a sense for how much wandering you can do out there, following out beds and surfaces for as long as you want.




The late afternoon-early evening is really the best time to enjoy the view out there.



And I really can't over-emphasize this...there is a LOT of outcrop to look at in the Wadi Al-Hitan.




And look, HCS! Hot Damn!




Seriously, it's pretty much Geo-Porn.

These are great photos!

Since your text runs all across the page, can't you change the size of the photos in html to 640 wide and maybe still have them fit with your text? Maybe even 800 wide? [640 is the next size up from 400, but is too wide for narrow column blogs like mine.]
