Daily Photo – Above Glen Prosen
As I recall, this was a view to the east across the Angus Glens. I think the glen running through this image is Glen Clova.

Having completed the task we decided to take a day off and hike around Glen Prosen. It was a glorious day and we left early in the morning for our hike, driving as far as the road went before continuing on by foot. In this image, my friend enjoys the view looking back along the glen, the trail we've ascended running down on the left.
Doorways and window openings are set in the whitewashed walls. Periodically there are gaps in the roof that allow the passages to breathe and let in light.
Order a print of this photo So yesterday's photo was looking at old Ghadames from the outside in. Apart from the shadow of the palm tree there's little to indicate…
This photo was taken from just outside the old wall, near the water pool. The white tower and dome is part of one of the mosque complexes in the town - the white paint also serving to reduce the temperature on the inside.
What this photo actually shows is a stretch of the Libyan-Algerian border about 90 miles (140 km) south of Ghadames. Libya is on the left, Algeria is to the right, as if you couldn't tell for yourself!
