SAHARA PANORAMA. /HB/

The greatest arid desert on Earth is also called by the Arabs the Sea without water. Hans Gasser journeys here almost every year, resulting in the fascinating images of this volume. The carefully-composed colour panoramas show not only the towering dunes, blossoming oases and bizarre rock formations, but also give a sense of the freedom and spaciousness, which this Austrian photographer has always found in the vast African desert.
