The ScorpionsThe only day we saw scorpions was in
the camp in Germa! These beasts are not deadly for health grown-ups,
but children can die from their poison.
In any case, it hurts terribly. One driver has lost two children to
scorpions, so after we had taken the photos, he took revenge. |

Who's Missing?Hamza stops to look for one of the
other cars that is out of clear sight. We see another car has stopped somewhat off the
track. Using my binoculars, Hamza can see the car has no rooftop luggage rack,
so he concludes it's none of our cars. Wrong, unfortunately:
Having overlooked a shallow dry rivulet, that car had jumped further than
was healthy, and had lost its rooftop rack including several fuel
containers. The driver suffered from a mild shock and headache, and the
passengers also had some bruises, but fortunately all recovered fast.

Next car problemAnother car has troubles and has lost
a considerable amount of oil. No need to throw sand on the road this time, however... |

Desert NightI teamed up with Wolfgang Weiser for some
tracked images with the Canon 5D. Sadly I bumped into the tripod before my last planned tracked
shot. I added a nice star trail in the end. |
