I tend to go for populated areas as well. But, I am flabbergasted at the comment that desserts would all look the same. That's like saying that mountains all look the same. I grew up near the Mojave desert in California. It's got some amazing flora and fauna.
Google is automated. I searched for "US desert vegetation". That's what the first images showed. There were a lot of "first images". The one picture I found from the Sahara did qualify for the "desert vegetation" part of the search. The further along the search you go, the more extra stuff gets included in the results.How did images of Africa get in there? And when you stand next to a saguaro and next to a ground cactus, you wonder how can they be in the same family.
Explain that to the teacher.
Well, it would be pretty poor research not to look at the individual pictures and see where they are from. I assume a booklet of pictures would be more useful if there are descriptions of the pix.I started to laugh. Okay kids. I want you to find some photos of our dessert land out west and make a booklet. Imagine some kid using those photos for a geography lesson.
It sounds like the apocryphal tale of the Americans doing Europe in a weekWe used the Klimt exhibition to show visitors around the city and have a cultural weekend , so we did the Art Gallery , Museum, maritime history, ferries , good restaurants etc but we did also throw in a visit to John Lennons house as most people are quite interested . I think a few people did like them I was too young myself .
You could always go into business doing whistle top tours of the British Isles for those who aren't interested in details . Just point to the North and shout Bagpipes, At Liverpool shout Beatles (muttering utter breath never liked them myself) , Wave your arms a lot around in the middle and shout Hills , more hills, leeks , daffodils somewhere , then point to the South and shout Big Ben .
I think there is a gap in the travel industry market you could clean up .
It is hard to imagine the scale of these drawings. The picture on the left has a semi on the road in the foreground. The picture on the right is the "hummingbird" taken from the same altitude.
That's for sure, Kayelle. A high school friend recently moved to Tucson, AZ. She's been posting photos on Facebook of all the desert flora - greenery, beautiful cacti in full flower. Amazing. AND she can keep it! Why? We moved our son out to Phoenix twice when he was going to college, and then went again to move him back to Ohio. First two trips were in August, the last was in July. I don't care how pretty cactus blossoms are, I wouldn't want to put up with the summer hot.
But she did do Yellowstone in the winter. it was -26, and she said she put on a whole weeks clothes to go outside LOLI must agree CG.....I'm such a wuss, I don't do intense heat or cold. Good thing I've always lived right here where I was planted.
Sure is beautiful country there, though. Heaven on earth.
