"WOW"

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

Just before WW2 an incident happened which became highly classified and has been subsequently covered up by all world governments to this very day.
Thanks to the internet and Weak knee leeks photos have now emerged revealing this fascinating incident.
On the dawn of the 13th December 1937 a group of specialist people of renounced or should that be renouned ?? acclaim lead by Prof. Dinglebat Phd. were sent, via automobile, to an oasis in the Sahara Desert.
A camp was soon set up and supplies for a long stay were flown in.  
The group carried out extensive research but all findings were instantly classified as 'Above Top Secret' and nothing more was heard of the incident.  
All enquiring into what went on were at the very least denied, and at the very most ignored, towards any media that snooped on the subject.  
It is from the pilot's camera that some of the photos now revealed were taken.  
The only snippet of any information that was accidently leaked was a supposed comment by the President Of Egypt which revealed nothing of any value, that being,....
when asked what all the secrecy was about, simply replied,.....
'WOW'

Very nice! Lovely terrain, lovely truck, and a great idea! 

I felt like I was watching the History Channel. It's TRUE, it must be true because it's on TV.

Great stuff.

From a scenery perspective this put the finger on something I must have been registering for a while but never formalized in my head: a rather dark earth base coat with a very light dry brush highlight works very well for desert sand  and gravel. It may have to do with that the gives the same impression sharp shadows strong direct sunlight create.

Sorry, a bit OT, but it just struck me.
