landscapes of sahara

i found out tonight that the desert is like the sea. controlled by the elements of nature. the wind drawing lines on its surface. the wind bringing the sand in a place and changing the landscape like a tide will. an immense space where you can be completely isolated, surrounded by nature and isolation.

(he was so amazing at electric picnic!  Sunday night >>>Iggy Pop and the Stooges: him making the audience go and dance on stage, him acting like a sexy bitch, him jumping and screaming in his mic, him being so committed (politically) and intelligent, him being so old and so good looking!!! He is a LEGEND! And while everyone went to see Unkle and the Go!Team, i was watching  him, alone, but i was enjoying it so much!!! )
