Air mountains in Sahara
« on: November 11, 2007, 09:48:59 AM »
Last year I was in Sahara and I visit the Air Mountains in the central Sahara. It was a great trip but the flora wasn't so good. Here are some photos from the trip.

On the road to the mountains


One funny bush side of the road. The goats and camels eat everything...


One green valley in Sahara

Also in the poorest country in the world you can find tagetes...


And the goats

Great pictures indeed. You certainly get about Stellan. We all envy you. Fancy, all those onions in such a place!

David, I doubt if a bike would be much use in THAT landscape.

The Echinops seed germinated very good. I don´t think it´s very hardy but I will try it outside next year.
