These are a few more of the pictures I took of the area around Tata.

I also found some palm trees which give a good backdrop for landy pictures as well.

And some wildlife was found in the form of lizards and locusts.

Locusts are a real pain for the local farmers, arriving in their millions from the likes of Mauritania. 2004 saw a record number arrive. Near Tata is a small airstrip with crop dusting planes that try to spray the whole area with some kind of anti locust agent (quite what is a worry).
