A collection of photographs of some sights I enjoyed whilst on a recent trip to Petra.

'It's not eyeliner, actually. It's KOHL'

This Bedouin dude had sass, and some great eyeliner/KOHL. When he wasn't waxing lyrical about the importance of freedom and happiness in life he was blurting out the most incongruous phrases presumably learnt from tourists. "Lovely jubely" "Cheap in chips" etc. After he'd inquired about our origins and we'd replied "New Zealand" he yelled out "Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI!".

Definitely one of the chattier and wittier dudes we came across.

The observatory was designed to search for proton decay, study solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and keep watch for supernovae in the Milky Way Galaxy.' - Wikipedia page on Super K
