Today's photo, 'Dune Shaking' was taken close to the location of yesterday's. It shows a side view of the four vibrators with the dunes in the background.
Today's photo, 'Calanscio Vibroseis' shows our seismic line stretching out from one set of dunes and across a plain towards another distant dune line.
So here's a wider shot of the end of the line. Well, not the end actually, more of a hiatus. The line continued up here on the top of the escarpment but all the trucks had to drive around to the nearest wadi or road we cut that provided access.
In today's shot the four seismic vibrators are working their way, single file, along a bulldozed track and shaking the foothills of the escarpment.
Although this looks at first glance to be an aerial shot, I'm actually standing on the on terra firma for this shot of our vibs approaching the escarpment.
