Various Places in the Libyan Sahara

Image - A horned Viper. Very hard to see. I almost stepped on one a couple of times.

Awesome animal pictures, that's a great variety of wildlife
You mention having coworkers, may I ask what you were working on while there?
I was working for a Libyan national government exploration company. My job was geodetic surveying and cartography (maps). Thanks for stopping by!
You got a 33.33% upvote from @payforplay! Please consider delegating steem power to @payforplay. We are currently sharing 100% of our profits with our delegators. That's correct, 100%! It doesn't get better than that. It is essentially running your own bid bot without doing any of the work. Steem power can be delegated here: https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html
Resteemed by @resteembot! Good Luck!
Check @resteembot's introduction post or the other great posts I already resteemed.
Lovely photos! I, too, in my travels are looking for something very interesting. But I have more different technologies and traditions of this country.
Glad you liked them. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
Every photo is better than the others! This is a great collection my friend.
Thank you, i'm glad you liked them! I love these images now more than ever, as tragedy has now over-taken Libya. They help me to remember the Libya I knew. Cheers!
I appreciate your posts. That's why on previous occasion I selected one of your post for the 'the daily sneak' -a motivator and supporter of good writing.
Yes, I remember. Thank you! I want to give you an upvote for your latest post, but my vote at the momement is worth exactly 0.00... Thank you for your support, I will do like-wise.
Please don't mind for not being able to upvote on my post. I appreciate your posts and so I am following you. In one of my recent post I described the reason not to upvote a comment on my post because it yields nothing to the person who had made comment. Instead of it I upvote his/her posts so that he/she may get some reward.
We (minnows) are not very powerful here but together we all can do anything. Together we can be successful. We just need to unite and help each other.
Thank you brother.
I like that attitude, and I think the same. I follow you as well. Cheers!
