Portrait of Wadi Rum

Here we can see a bedouin encampment somewhere in the vast landscape of Wadi Rum, Jordan, complete with solar panels and broken down truck that appears to be in the middle of a repair. This scene seems so full of human life yet is devoid of any people. The large rock formation in the background also gives the photo perspective and texture.
