Wadi Rum, Jordan

- Jamais a esperança

Sem movimento.

Ciência e paciência,

O suplício é lento.

...

Ela foi encontrada!

Quem? A eternidade.

É o mar misturado

Ao sol.

(Arthur Rimbaud)

Many prehistoric inscriptions and carvings line rocky caverns and steep chasms. The natural water source of Lawrence’s Spring is named after British Lieutenant Lawrence of Arabia, who allegedly washed there.

Last night, it'd stopped raining for the first time in weeks, so me and hubby got to sit sat outside and watch a sunset in our hammocks drinking Rum and Coke, the beautiful bokeh is from my Geraniums and Nasturtiums,

 

Have a fabulous Friday

Leaning haphazardly against each other, this rock formation towers over the Wadi Rum visitor centre. It proceeds to a gradual peak with the highest pillar at its front. The clear, rounded shapes of the pillars standing side-by-side allowed it to inherit its name. Because of it shapes, this mountain look like many things. A collection of lopsided pillars, a procession of figures fanned out behind their leader, the bulwark of a great ship sailing through an ocean of sand. The modern name is taken from TE Lawrence’s memoir of his time in the desert. Though only five of these pillars are immediately visible, the other two are around the side. It is possible to walk around the formation but the best view is from a distance near the visitor centre. The original Arabic name is Jebel al-Mazmar, which means “The Mountain of the Plague.”

 

This site is one of the most amazing hiking spots in the area. The trail is one of stark contrasts: on one side, flat sands spread long distances, the very picture of the dry, yellow desert of the imagination in summer. In winter and spring, it is scattered with low grasses and bushes that animals come to graze on. Keep your eyes peeled and you might even spot a camel or two! On the other side, the mountain leaps from the ground in a sheer wall of sandstone and granite. A walk along the base of the rock is done easily at your own pace. Upon approaching the foot of this majestic mountain, tilt your head back and take in the enormity of the pillars. Massive as big-city skyscrapers, these natural formations speak of something ancient. A testament to this place and its withstanding thousands of years of both human and environmental turmoil.

Wadi Rum (Arabic: وادي رم Wādī Ramm, also Wādī al-Ramm), known also as the Valley of the Moon (Arabic: وادي القمر Wādī al-Qamar), is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan, near the border to Saudi Arabia and about 60 km (37 mi) to the east of the city of Aqaba. With an area of 720 km2 (280 sq mi) it is the largest wadi in Jordan.

 

Several prehistoric civilizations left petroglyphs, rock inscriptions and ruins in Wadi Rum. Today it is a tourist attraction, offering guided tours, hiking and rock climbing. The Wadi Rum Protected Area has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011.*

The Rum River that begins from Mille Lacs Lake and runs through Cambridge, Minnesota on its way to Anoka is as low as I have seen it. I took this photo from a spot near the river that is usually under water.

 

The Rum River is fished for small mouth bass, walleyes, northern pike and rumor has it, an occasional muskie. Fifty miles of the 150 mile length of the river runs through Isanti County including Cambridge.

I spent a long weekend on rum walking, bothying, camping sharing rotten chat with friends and fighting the the dreaded rum midges. Without doubt, they have to be the worst, most ferocious midges i have ever encountered! I would definitely recommend a visit - though take some DDT! if you don't believe me, here's a we vid i took that my friend posted on twitter. the swear words have been edited out ;-)
