Faysal Bibi's Snapshots

  1. Large Barchanoid Sand Dune

    Large Barchanoid Sand Dune by Faysal Bibi from the GigaPan Elephant Trackway Site Mleisa 1 from Afar by Faysal Bibi

    This dune is slowly drifting onto the site. Returning to this spot year after year we are able to see it move (a few meters a year), inching its way towards the fossil trackway (and taking the fence with it).
