Landscape in Wadi Hafir, Jordan.
This photograph was taken in a mountain range what grew to become the most mesmerizing vista throughout all my travels in Jordan earlier this year while on assignment for National Geographic. I would sit here for hours, absorbing not only the epic view, internalizing and feeling the weight and measure of history, of migration and the enormity of nature that encompasses this magnificent wadi.
In this wadi (valley) our collective humanity walked through some 50,000-70,000 years ago, populating the planet as we are today.
The Arab Revolt between 1916-1918 occurred in these windblown pathways. T.E. Lawrence of Lawrence of Arabia fame also meander not too far in the distance.
Today Bedouin’s cling precariously to their traditions as development begins to slowly erase cultural fingerprints.
As a preview to the story I have coming out in the December 2014 issue of National Geographic, I will be posting each day some photographs from my travels through Jordan and Israel, presenting outtakes that didn’t make it into the 26 pages of the magazine. Also vignette and behind the scenes moments with my friends and travel companions @zeekkhdeer @samialalul and Garo, whose individual and collective talents helped me make this assignment possible.
Keep watch on newsstands December 1 (and in your mailboxes beginning November 20) for “Promised Lands”, part III of the Out of Eden Walk in National Geographic. Be sure to read the power manuscript by friend, colleague and the official walker of the Out of Eden project, @PaulSalopek.
All my best, John Stanmeyer
