Metameor?

 

"Metameor" was written on the slide, as best as I can judge...but that turns up zilch on Google.

The image - might shows the Ksar Ouled Soltane, a fortified granary located in southern Tunisia. 

Historical Purpose: Built by the Amazigh people in the 15th century, these structures served as fortified storage spaces called ghorfas for grain and dates. 

Pop Culture: It gained international fame as a filming location for the slave quarters of Mos Espa in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. 

The slide's odd colour cast - unknown. Possible a slight light-leak.

The woman - You've guessed it, unknown. But she seems to be carrying a Swann Hellenic (WF & RK SWAN LTD LONDON) travel bag.

Bonus Fact - Ksar Ouled Soltane is located in the town of Soltane, which is south of Tataouine. Hmm, sounds familiar. 

Bonus - 

Not Norfolk

 

No info on the slide, but in my opinion, this could be  the summit of Mount Sinai, also known as Gabal Musa, in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt.

Maybe near here

Desert Blooms

 

Today, at Slide Guy Central, the weather has been winy (Storm Claudia), wet (ditto, around 35mm rain today) cold (7 deg C) and dark (all bloody day).

So, here's  a slide of some blooms in the desert.

They MIGHT cheer me up a fraction.

Bonus - If you know, you know.

Desert Flower

 OK. Let's get back to "normal"

Quite a stunning bloom, innit.

Bonus - 

Still enjoying doing these

The Desert Landscape

 

One of the side-effects of watching quality television is that certain scenery become inextricably linked to certain actvities.

Case in point, years ago, I would have seen this image and thought "Lovely desert scenery". Now, my thought is "I wonder if this is where Walt and Jesse cooked up in their Winnebago."

Bonus - Also TV programme related, this 1967 musique concrète track by Pierre Henry, and Futurama

Sand and Pick-Ups.

 

I toyed with the idea of labelling this as being Mexicans flooding into USA after the new POTUS Joe Bden flung open the borders....but I realised that some Trumpette would take that as fact.

Nope, no idea where or when, but that seems a very dark "sand". I wonder where it really is.

Bonus - Damn! 

Jennie - Posing on a Rock

No wonder she looks a little nervous. Persuaded  by fiancé Ricky to jump into a car and head out into the desert for some glamour photographs.
She's seen those B-Movies, and knows how it can end. Yet, she trusts Ricky. Usually.

I wonder what happened next.

Bonus - Commercial Break

Bonus 2 - Ugly Renaissance Babies

Desert Sponges

Incongruous?

No info on the slide (naturally) but natural sponges are the only thing I can think of that they could be selling. At least they have Pepsi to enjoy afterwards. (Hope it isn't warm.)

Bonus - Man Fakes Arm Amputation for Insurance Fraud.
