William Wordsworth’s poem, commonly known as ‘Daffodils’ was first written in 1804 and revised in 1815. It’s the opening lines that inspired my title for today’s photo. If you don’t know, ‘Daffodils’ starts with the lines:
Here’s a broader view of yesterday’s photo. From here, the only way is up! With the surveyor standing by the blue Land Rover, you can see the Wild T3 Theodolite on the tripod and the Wild DI4L or DI5 distomat mounted on top of the theodolite.
The last two day’s I’ve posted photos looking down on a bulldozer cutting a trail down an escarpment in western Libya. Today’s photo is of surveying the escarpment looking up from the bottom.
Today I’ve a different angle on yesterday’s photo that I’ve title, ‘Dozing Off’. It better shows what was in front of the bulldozer as he cut a trail down the escarpment for us.
Today’s photo is of a Caterpillar D8 (or D9, I’m not a Cat expert) cutting through the top of an escarpment to create a new pass.
Today’s photo doesn’t actually follow on from yesterday’s Desert Shipwreck image but given the content I though Desert Flotsam was an appropriate title and now was an appropriate time to post.
