About this image
This image of Saudi Arabia shows a great sea of linear dunes in part of the Rub' al Khali, or the Empty Quarter. Acquired on June 25, 2000, the image covers an area 37 kilometers (23 miles) wide and 28 kilometers (17 miles) long in three bands of the reflected visible and infrared wavelength region. The dunes are yellow due to the presence of iron oxide minerals. The inter-dune area is made up of clays and silt and appears blue due to its high reflectance in band 1. The Rub' al Khali is the world's largest continuous sand desert. It covers about 650,000 square kilometers (250,966 square miles) and lies mainly in southern Saudi Arabia, though it does extend into the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. One of the world's driest areas, it is uninhabited except for the Bedouin nomads who cross it. The first European to travel through the desert was Bertram Thomas in 1930.

What my clients say
Fantastic quality and even better customer service!!
Thank you, Adam.
We purchased two wonderful photos from Adam. One a framed black and white of The Bean in Chicago. And, the other of an iconic road in Door County on metal. The process was painless and Adam checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. We will be looking at his work in the future for both the quality of his craftmanship and the professional way he handled the purchase and shipping of our purchase.
Love my night time photograph of Chicago! The colors and quality of the photo are beautiful. I ordered and received my order within a week. Can’t wait to hang this on our wall!! Thanks Adam!
