Daily Photo – Dune Shooting
Here's another view of the crew dune shooting. The vibs are pretty much in the same location as yesterday's photo.

Having assembled as they were in yesterday's photo, our vibs were now facing a wall of sand.
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.
Things are looking down or, perhaps more appropriately, I'm looking down on things. Western Libya, 1990, and four Birdwagen Mark III's with Failing Y1100 vibrators approach the bottom of the escarpment.
When you stand relatively close to a seismic vibrator you can literally feel the earth shaking. I don't know if you could feel this jebel shaking or not but certainly had we set geophones on it we'd have detected it shaking.
